I am butting the boards together and letting the gap come as the boards dry.  We put a mark on the front and rear joist 12" apart so we could track our progress and make sure we did not get off on either end and not know it.  So far we are dead on after 45'.  Sometimes a board may be a quarter or and eighth off on one end but we fix it with a pry bar (t-post against the ground) and go on to the next.  We have been lucky too that we got a good load of wood and the boards have looked great so far.
