We are having discussions among our team about establishing best practices for source files. One huge point for us is that the person doing maintaince on a report may not be the original developer. Within our team the development practices are varied, some use Developer's Studio and some the MRE.
I could not find any best practices in the forums - does anyone have experiences that they can share? Are there any general guidelines related to the value of including source files rather than 1 physical source? Is there some size limit at which the relative value of 1 or multiple source files changes?

1- I like to backup the files before making any changes. 2- good documentation is always helpful (not that I always have time for it) 3- Version Control softwares are always a good idea but creates overhead 4- Creating guidelines for development may ease up the process
