In managing DDR, the biggest thing was to make sure that I was in constant contact with all of the editors. With DDR2, I made every editor send me a status report every 3 weeks or so, just to keep track of how they were doing. It's also a good idea to ask for periodic samples of their work, to make sure they're keeping up and not doing anything out of line (ie, excessive fanservice, violence, etc.).
One thing that was helpful to me in particular was knowing a LOT of editors...when people start dropping out at the last minute, you need editors you can really trust to pick up the slack...if you just ask a random volunteer that you've never heard of, there's a good chance you'll never hear back from them again. Elitist? No, just realistic and practical.
That's all I can think of for right now.
I have no idea how to use this new forum.
