6) Libraries and most used chunk of code should be documented using
phpDocumentator or PHPLint (this latter is mine :-). Every programmer using
these tools should rely on the interface specified in the documentation,
and this documentation should be always available on-line via WEB.
7) Submit your program to a formal validator, as PHPLint.
8) Keep every project under a release version system like CVS. It is really
useful also when there is only one developer.
