If you haven't already seen it, I'd recommend taking a look at Chris Pirillo's recent post "We’re Taking an Open Direction with Web Communities: Are You In?"

For the community of community owners, operators, moderators, and members: we need better options, and I believe we need them to exist on open platforms. We all have different tastes and we all use different tools, but I think we all can accept that community software should help us grow and flourish. One potential platform for us is found in Drupal, an open source content management system (CMS) that can be molded into a powerful, integrated suite of community experiences - something that can help us make sense of all these social networks we belong to.

I think it might be worth your time to take a look at some of the things that Cambrian House has done in this regard. They have a far from perfect model, but certainly have done some things right.
