Great suggestions. I’m a member of the Community Roundtable and can attest that it’s a great resource.
A colleague of mine has put together a social media/community manager salary survey website, which I think will grow to be a great resource. There is so much confusion about titles, salaries and job descriptions; hopefully the data he gathers will help companies start to establish more standard, fair benchmarks for these positions. The survey and lots of great info about social media/community manager salaries are at http://www.socialmediasalarysurvey.com

I have http://www.communityspark.com on my reader as well.
Also, I’d add Jeremiah Owyang to your list of folks to know. His expertise expands beyond just community management, but his blog (http://www.web-strategist.com/blog) is a must read.
Thank you for putting this stuff together! Great collection!
