squiblo Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hello, I have recently partnered up with a new friend to help design and develop a website, as I live in the UK and he lives in the USA. How can we communicate, work together as a team so we always know what we are both doing in the most effective way possible? Thanks.

trq Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 The first thing I would be doing is setting up a Subversion server and an Issue tracker.

trq Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Subversion is a version control system allowing developers to checkout projects, then to update the repository with there changes. Version control is an essential tool when working in groups (personally I use it even when working alone). There are many issue trackers around (I use one called Jira by http://atlassian.com, though there are plenty of free ones). These allow you to post bugs, feature requests, proposals whatever.... and have each feature (whatever) tracked through various stages of implementation. Again, these are another way of making sure you don't tread on each others toes. A dev can login, assign a task to himself then go about there work knowing that know one else is doing the same task.

cliffdodger Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 ALso if you're not already using skype to keep in touch I would recommend that. Skype has great voice/video chat features.
