Kind of a > one-time-good-deal. I have recently read a book on OAI protocol (by Cole and Foulonneau) and there was a good description of the initial structure of that project there. They had a Steering Committee which was responsible for making "big" decisions, a Technical Committee which was responsible for implementation and testing and the OAI Executive which was responsible for day-to-day decisions and keeping Technical Committee on schedule. The Executive consisted of two people only which allowed it to be nimble and at the same time to distribute the workload to some degree. EG documentation project might have a similar structure, with a steering committee deciding on the general project road map, the executive (with a rotating membership if necessary) being responsible for a single release (or chunk) of documentation and the technical team doing implementation, testing and releasing different formats of the documentation.
