What are some best practices building a Joomla site with a team.
I am currently joining a company where they currently are editing code on the live servers. This is not a good situation, and I have heard of some disaster stories in the company where people were overwriting their work, and by mistake deleting/moving files.
I would love to get a development environment setup including incorporating SVN. I am used to developing custom php web applications, where all configuration and code are in files. With Joomla, some configuration (usually extensions) are in the DB.
I have some ideas, but they require the developer to run scripts. Some of the people tweaking the code are really just front end designers, they need to go in and update the css, and an image, etc.
What is the best way to manage a team of designers and developers to develop, build and deploy a Joomla site. I really can not find any good resources online.
