if my album is related to other tables in my database, how do I implement it in AlbumTableGateway?
example, if I have another table called categories ...

Right now, the tutorial uses the ConfigProvider approach for configuring the album module.
But the routing is defined in config/routes.php.
There are ways to implement a module based routing (explained in a zf blog entry).
I think, it's not consistent to keep the routing "global" while the rest is configured module based.
On the other hand, it might be too complicated for a getting-started-tutorial to implement it.

Question:
How should we deal with the routing of the album module?

As this is a beginners tutorial, the focus is not on testing.
Some testing has already been added.

Question:
Add more testing or remove the existing tests?

The MVC tutorial provides the following tutorials

• Getting Started with Zend Framework
• Unit Testing A zend-mvc Application
• Adding zend-navigation to the Album Module
• Adding zend-paginator to the Album Module
• In-Depth tutorial
• Advanced Configuration
• Internationalization
• Setting Up A Database Adapter
• Using the EventManager

Which additional tutorials should be added to zend-expressive2?

• zend-navigation
• zend-pagination
• Abstract factory vs. Config abstract factory
• ...

Should we drop php v5.6 support?

The zend-expressive2-skeleton still supports php v5.6, but most zend-... packages do not.
Latest, when implementing zend-expressive-navigation php v5.6 will have to be dropped.

Question:
Should we drop php v5.6 in the tutorial right from the start?

Should we keep MySQL like in the base for this tutorial or switch to sqlite like used in the zend mvc tutorial?

For an optional extra tutorial about implementing navigation, the library zend-expressive-navigation should be ready for use in productive environment.
How is the status of this project?
Is it well documented?

Should we change the expressive tutorial in a way that it comes closer to the mvc getting started tutorial?

A lot of parts could be taken over one-to-one from the mvc tutorial, such as the parts about the assumptions, installation of the skeleton, explanation of database and models.

Is it intended to be as close as possible to have a direct comparison of both methods, mvc vs. expressive?

For the original zend-expressive-tutorial alternate parts for the usage of plates have been created but never been published.
Should we create alternate parts for the zend-expressive2-tutorial?

I suggest to create an alternate part5 which incorporates all "features" but uses plates instead of zend-view.
So, a comparison can be drawn between usage of plates versus zend-view on a code basis.
