<p>Are those 15 people in the same office/same location or distributed? If the latter, at how many places are they distributed?</p>
<p>In my experience, using Postgis sources over the internet (not in the LAN) is way too slow. It will only upset your users. In such a scenario you would have to set up replication.</p>
<p>Another aspect: avoid editing the same features simultaneously by different users. Only the last save will stay. QGIS starts an edit session and will only save at the end of the sesssion, when you actually save the features. In such a scenario you should assign certain geographic areas to different users (e.g. user A edits features in municipality x, and user b in municipality y, but not x).</p>
<p>Otherwise you will have to deal with handling conflicts. That would require more complicated table setups with versioning and conflict detection.</p>
