Pre-post production

Hi I’m a student doing a research project on the “pre-postproduction” process of editing. Just wondering what people do before they begin the full edit. If anyone could answer some or all of these questions I would be stoked.
Do you know any DVD’s with special post production features looking at editing preparation? I know Riding Giants has one.
You find out that you have an editing job what’s your first action?
How much research is needed into the area you will be cutting?
What role does a schedule have in your initial planning?
What role does a paper edit have in your productions?
What are you looking to learn from your rough cut? Timing information? Enough Visual Coverage?
Do you usually use either of these (paper edit/rough cut)?
What planning can, or do, you do to help the editing process run smoother down the track?

Thanks a lot
Geoff
