I have been given the task to team mange a total refactoring of a webpage, build in PHP.
I’m only the student worker 🙁 so my experience in a team development environment is limited.

Well my question here is how do we best manage the development of the website?
At the moment do we use a SVN for version control, where each dev have a branch.
I am having a dream about mapping [brach name].devserver.com to the given branch of the SVN.
But I’m not sure this is the best way to do it? Would setting up at local development server up on each dev pc be better?
Also if we where to use our Development server for our testing, is mapping to SVN branch be best? Or would a normal ftp be easier?

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

    This is why distributed version control is gaining more ground.

    For more information take a look at bazaar: http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/latest/en/user-guide/bazaar_workflows.html

    And Joel’s Hg Init tutorial: http://hginit.com/

    They’ll give you a little better understanding about DVCS, and why it’s better than using Subversion (IMHO… and a few other thousand programmers). And if you’re using DVCS, you can test on the “main” server, you can each install LAMP/WAMP servers and test on your own box, or any variation you can think of. The important thing is to figure out what works best for your team, and do that.
