Thanks again.

I don't know how big your team is, but you may want to consider using CVS in conjunction with a mailing list. That way all the changes that you make are communicated to the other web team members and theirs to you. SF.net has a syncmail script (if you can't find it, I can send it to you) that helps with this (it's written in Python :-)). If you end up using CVS then you can add a quick little note to the change (or leave it blank) so, depending on what it is you were communicating it can make changes a lot faster (ie anyone would be able to make the change and if someone else were working on the same file in a different place, their changes could be merged together too).
CVS is what we use for the openFIRST project. It's pretty easy to setup, and will work on both UNIX-based and Windows systems (as a client and server). If you decide to go the CVS route, I'd suggest looking at SmartCVS
http://www.smartcvs.com for the client side, as it's pretty straight forward.
http://www.openfirst.org/cvs/smartcvs/ has a graphical tutorial for the setup (tailored to openFIRST, but it's a source for some more screen shots, at the very least)
A favourite thing to do now (for those of us who've graduated and now play mainly administrative roles for openFIRST in order not to cause potential conflicts with the "student designed and built website" rule) is add <!-- TODO: ... --> comments in the source.
