the publishing process

If you were to consider your content as something of a formal publication, in addition to standards, you might also consider implementing processes for distribution.

According to Wikipedia, here are the various stages that are involved in modern publishing:

  1. Commissioning
  2. Writing
  3. Copy editing
  4. Design
  5. Copywriting
  6. Typesetting
  7. Proofreading
  8. Correction cycles
  9. Indexing
  10. Final corrections
  11. Web publishing
  12. Prepress
  13. Printing
  14. Post press
  15. Distribution
  16. Marketing

Not all of these apply to every type of publishing, but if you get creative I bet you can find a principle underlying each phase that could be useful to adopt to your content.

So . . .
