Hello QGIS:ers

I am evaluating setting up a server running PostgreSQL/PostGIS for use 
as data sharing/collaborating environment for spatial data. The user 
group may consist of up to 15 people, mostly using QGIS but one or two 
may use other software (non OS). Data is almost exclusively of vector 
type. The use is within a single organization.

I understand some people in this list have experience with this kind of 
environment and would appreciate if any of you would share any useful 
experience, challenges, thought or things to watch out for. I understand 
basic management routines are critical (user management, user rights), 
as well as a sound backup and update strategy. I also understand that 
proper data management procedures have to be in place, like rules for 
table creation and eventual deletion, attribute selection, etc. But what 
else can go wrong with this kind of setup if not managed properly? 
Thoughts and experiences welcome!

Best regards and thanks in advance

Hernán
