Thank you all for your input so far, it has benefited me a little to know how others do it and i hope others reading this thread will benefit just as i have.

I am about to embark on a medium size project, i have myself, another coder and hopefully another designer/coder, we all live within the same time zone but we do not live near each other in anyway to work on things together, all the work will be done on each persons computer.

What measures would you advise for team work?

We have the use of MSN but obviously we are not all on at the same time so i thought how about set up a password protected forum at subdomain.domain.com such as a phpBB3 one and use that as the main discussion.

Would you think setting deadlines that we can all agree on would be the best way to manage time?

Please could you give me all your suggestions for how to make project like this run smooth, obviously there's always some sort of problem but to avoid most of the common problems like not knowing where people are up to with coding etc...

Thanks,
Lee.

P.S. This will be the first project i have managed, i believe i would be good at managing things, tips will help me and others reading to improve, i don't want this to be my first and last project that i manage lol.
