We have about five :) This is actually not a problem atm, although
I can see it could be in the future. The problem is that with not
everyone having cvs access, and not everyone having accounts on a
single machine, people put up "Where I'm up to" pages somewhere 
they can edit, so we have to keep an eye out for new ones.

The idea of a wikiweb for this has been mooted. I'm curious whether
any other teams have used wikis for this purpose and how well they
have worked?

Editor tricks. We have to make our files utf-8. Well, I had to
switch editor to be able to do that. I have a vimrc of about 
three lines now. And I still get weird messages in the status line
at times.

So neat tricks for editors might be handy. I imagine many are
similar regardless of what team you're in.
