[cms-list] Essential Readings

[Trevor Gosbell]

For any CMS implementation there are a number of 'audiences' or stakeholder groups that need to be informed about (and often sold on) the idea of content management. These may include:

- analysts - who will specify the system requirements
- sponsors - who will fund and approve the specification
- developers/technical - who will implement the system itself
- designers - who will provide the presentation framework for the content
- project managers - who will be responsible for timely implementation
- content matter experts - who will use the system to deploy content
- system administrators - who will maintain the system in use
- customers/end users - who are the consumers of the content itself

My question (in several parts) is:
- are there some essential texts that each of these audiences should read in order to understand CM concepts (and their role in a CMS)?
- are there some essential texts that practically everyone should read?
- are there other general stakeholder groups that I've missed?
