I preordered all the 2nd edition stuff (every single item and oh boy, my wife will beat me for the expenses :D ) and am giddy with excitement.
Now it's still a couple of months ahead until August and the latest update of the playtest material is apparently far from being close to the final product.
Is there a chance that there will be a kind of quickstart adventure before August to sweeten the time of waiting? (One can dream...)

What do you mean about the quickstart adventure?
For instance, without the rules, just having an adventure isn't going to give us much to play with, as the rules are obviously different from the playtest.
Are you suggesting they give us the Iconics and perhaps the encounter information for the adventurer's looking for the Eye in the desert, and the stats for the monsters and let us 'try' to play the game based on what we think we know the rules to be?
Or are you talking something like the beginner box, which given all the time they are putting into the core book, I'd imagine they wouldn't want to give away free piece of the beginner box for free, before they release the core book. If anything the beginner box would probably be something they write after they get feedback on the actual core rule book and its chapter 1, and any potential errata.
Releasing the character sheets of the iconic's ahead of time might be interesting. They did that with the playtest, and it did spark lots of conversations. And since it is something that would likely be a free download after the fact, it wouldn't be taking away from future sales.
Something else that they could choose to do would be put out a potential preview with a "We Be 6y Goblins" adventure that might show some goblins and monsters/obstacles statted out and going through some skill and combat encounters for Free RPG Day? Potentially previewing what a module in 2nd edition might look like. (then do a twitch show or two running through it, so people could watch it if any mechanics end up being uncertain.

The Free RPG Day module "We Be Heroes?" will likely be something of a PF2 preview/quickstart. Mind that due to printing times it maybe will reflect the final ruleset, maybe not.

Quite what I was looking for. Nonetheless it will be difficult to wait until July 1st.

Maybe sdomething like a beginner box (I would gladly pay for it) ahead of the Corebooks like FFG did with their SW RPG would've been great indeed.

The first module they are dropping is structured in a way to be a bit of a tutorial. I expect that will be your best bet.

Oh yeah, I was about to mention that. "The Fall of Plaguestone" I think is the name. Will be out same day as the core rules, right?

Yup. It is supposed to gradually introduce various mechanics for folks.

OMG, I did not know about We Be Heroes. I needed more We Be Goblins in my life. <3
