Ok, that makes sense.  I could certainly see how having group access to a 
general database would be a bit more convenient than emailing changes to 
everyone :-)  Would using a CVS server backend make sense for this?  It could 
then handle all the merges and stuff, which would make the problem a bit 
easier.  Maybe most databases do this anyhow; I haven't really worked much 
with database software...
