See this video <<video link>> for a good tutorial on the technique. 

Any suggestions for a good YouTube clip?

Found one. Not really a tutorial, but Aceface talking through the manoeuvre in a T1 abyssal with a battleship.

To get into warp, some conditions need to be met on-grid:
...
* Your direction of travel should be within a few degrees of the line towards the target of your warp.

What is the allowable angular deviation between the direction of the travel and the actual direction to the warp destination?

75% of your velocity have to be in line with the destination. That should be a maximum deviation of about 40 degree at full speed. This seems a bit high so maybe test it. Yeeshani (talk, github)

Interesting point. As you suggested, I ran a few tests with a slowly-align Badger. I tried aligning 40, 20, 10, etc. degrees off the desired warp destination, running at full speed. Hitting warp still had an appreciable delay even down to 10 degrees misalignment. It wasn't until I got to 5 degrees the warp appeared near instantaneous.

Bottom line: CCP seem to have two requirements, velocity component in the direction of the warp destination above 75% and misalignment below some figure around 5 degrees.

Common Camp Locations

What am I missing here?

Player citadels
<<Research needed!>> 

Anybody know about the mechanics of camping a citadel or even a POS?

The only thing that come to mind is bubbles Yeeshani (talk, github)

Good point. This suggests that I just point to the normal station camping stuff and do a short write-up on tethering + bumping.

Smart-bombing 
- Machariel
- <<...>>

What battleships, other than a Machariel, are commonly used for smart-bombing?

Okay -- a bit of zKill research suggests the Rokh (8 high-power slots and lots of CPU) and the Praxis (cheap!).

[DOTLAN] Unlike the in-game map, these statistics have perhaps a one-hour delay. 

There is a delay -- but is it really one hour? Similarly for zKill.

zKillboard has a variable delay of up to perhaps an hour. This means that Dotlan and Eve Gatecamp Check are also probably working off delayed ESI data.
