Re-Organizing ZSE

Customizing views into a better Team / SVN Perspective Use the following views: • Console View 

o see details on commits, updates, etc• History View 

o access prior versionso compare changes

• Synchronize View (Team Sync Perspective) o project review on changes between repo and localo perform updates as needed.

• Task View o  Manage your tasks within team contexto Export tasks as XML to share with team (there is a better way)

Re-Organizing ZSE

Save Views into custom perspective. PHP PBM is what I call mine.

Arrange views to your advantage

Get ideas - Mix and Match views from other perspectives

Other Team Concepts

Additional Views that can help:

Remote Connections View    FTP / SFTP - sharing a project on a remote server    Draw back is there is no SVN code history

Refactoring tool - should code conventions change

Code Gallery - Sharing code / modules with team / Zend

PHPDoc standardizations • Helps team code with common notations• ZSE can use it to create code Documentation in HTML or PDF
