I haven't read them in several years but weren't the appendices in the LOTR books?
The hobbit was a fairly short story. Unless they are planning on going into some of the background history before the Hobbit story took place that was detailed in the LOTR appendices, the Silmarillion, etc. That would be cool but it might be a little much to follow.
As for material written by Jackson, hopefully they keep that to a minimum.
