I'm helping a local campus division start a community website and wondering if anyone has good models, project plans, best practices, etc. for content management...specifically from the "how-do-I-make-sure-this-About-page-stays-current-or-this-guest-blog-post-is-timely-and-postworthy" side of things.
In other words: what kind of management structure works best for the creation, submission, vetting, user-account admin'ing, content-wrangling aspect of web development?
Thanks!
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but George Williams wrote a ProfHacker article last year about how we manage the writing of that blog. It doesn't cover everything you're looking for, but it hits a lot of it.

Hi Korey,
It sounds like in part you're interested in the field we call "Content Strategy". Here are some well-regarded books on the topic:
The CMS Myth blog might be another good starting point for you.
Thanks all! Very helpful. I'm in the process of synthesizing some of this info into a brief document for the person who will ultimately be responsible for content. I'll link out to the post once it's finished...and of course welcome any feedback.
