If you're a creator or maintainer of some kind of community, whether online or offline, you might like to visit, and possibly contribute to, the freshly-created Community Management Wiki. From the About page:

The Community Management Wiki is an attempt to document and synthesize what we know about community management. . . .

Community management is the theory and practice of creating, building, maintaining, and guiding all kinds of communities, whether online or offline, large or small. Communities have a wide variety of purposes, Structures, and Values, and each one has different needs. A community manager helps a community be the best it can be at whatever it is that it does. . . .

What is this wiki for?

• Explaining terms and concepts relevant to community management


• Describing best practices


• Reviewing and recommending tools


• Offering case studies of well-known or interesting communities


• Offering further reading and other resources for community managers

This looks really awesome!!! I shall take a look and hopefully contribute when I have a moment. You may be interested in sending an email invitation to participate to groups like the folks in charge of Dreamwidth and the Organisation for Transformative Works - they'd be rather awesome in this department.

i believe the Dreamwidth people have already been made aware of it; i tried sending an email to the OTW people via their online email submission form (http://transformativeworks.org/contact/communications), but the CAPTCHA process refused to let me do so. :-(

their LJ is linked off mine - try letting them know about the Captcha issue and the work you're doing there :)
