I would definitely "joint" the edges before
you glue. Be sure there are no visible spaces
between the boards - don't rely on clamping pressure
to try to squeeze them together.

This isn't necessarily true. In fact, I've read in more than one place
(Kelly Mehler comes to mind) that suggests to have just a slight amount of
space toward the middle of the boards. When clamped, this creates
additional tension at the edges where a glued joint would be more likely to
fail. At least that's the theory. Personally, I joint them flat,
