Never mind FTP for now... learn CVS!
Thats right. After seeking advice I have reached the conclusion that my proposed scheme - give a group of users/rw acces to the webroot directory (including the ability to klobber each other's files) is no signifigant improvement over the 'single user' set up we use now.
Naturally I was encouraged to go learn about CVS. Now I've known about CVS for quite a while now but have put off learning anything about it on account of not being a developer. However it looks like it might really be what I need now. I already have reason to learn on account of my recent interest in wikis. I particularly like tinywiki - (warning: don't follow that link if you're using (or pretending to use) Microsoft Internet Explorer®. You have been warned.)
So for the next little while this freestyle curriculum is going to focus on CVS.

basic man page for cvs is pretty good. I seem to remember having a tutorial in html format somewhere, as well, probably my laptop.
for vim, this is a good little resource:

Thanks the OR vi guide looks handy. I must spend a good hour/day in vi already it would be nice to use it more efficiently.
