Well okay, maybe DW is just lame? Did that occur to you? You're talking 
multiple people and testing/synchronization. What's wrong with this...

* Production server
* Test server (optional on server, also local)
* side repository using CVS or SVN
* Individual user accounts

Now when you want to get the new changes you update from CVS (integrated with 
Cervisia) or kdesvn (as a plugin) make your changes and commit. Then you or 
the authorized maintainer upload. Now you have version management, history, 
diff per version. blame annotation, release tags and rollback as well as a 
conflict resolution system. With DW you just have... well a really lame file 
locking scheme. Using SVN BTW you only download the changes via diff so it's 
even much more efficient with bandwidth.

If you want to do the whole thing from your production server have a look at 
sitecopy, which can be used with Quanta. We would never personally use a 
production server to manage a team when it takes 5 minutes to set up CVS or 
SVN and the last thing we wanted to do was go buy a copy of DW to get 
permission to be a lamer "me too" copy of a windows program. We do things 
better. Try it. You'll like it. ;-) 

You can also emulate DW behavior if the rest of your team is stuck with lame 
technology by using the Project Event Actions or the DW compatibility script 
that ships with Quanta.
