[SHARING] WebFOCUS source files best practices
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?

thanks.

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
