Fantastic doctrines (like Christianity or Islam or Marxism or Microsoft-bashing) require unanimity of belief. One dissenter casts doubt on the creed of millions. Thus the fear and hate; thus the torture chamber, the iron stake, the gallows, the labor camp, the psychiatric ward - Edward Abbey

A more simple answer would be to have someone designated as producer (or whatever you''d like to call the person) that is the "liason" between your different groups. Producer keeps a copy of everything and makes sure that everyone gets what they need (And while they are at it, they be the one who pesters each group to get work done). However, if you have a small team (2 or 3 people) just handing it to the programmer also works
