I am looking for best practices for collaborative building.
Our current team has a group, and the land we are building on is deeded to that group. Trust is not an issue.
Do you recommend just setting all of our prims to the group and clicking "share with group" ? Are there better ways?
Thank you

I don't recommend "Deed to group" (on prims) as that can cause permission problems. We did use it once on with donating machine so that any funds donated went into the group coffers.  |

Are there any known bugs related to this? Lo Jacobs and I have been working on a building and it's causing us trouble. Even though the prims are set to the group and Share with group is checked, I can't edit anything. Could linking cause problems?

It is not easy. What Garth and I do on buiding together, if it is my project I rez all prims and he helps shape and place them. If all of the prims of a building are not the same creator/owner then it becomes impossible to link.
Doing it other ways is not impossible but a lot more complicated sometimes.

I find this system riddled with bugs and problems. I'm not a computer technician, the games' geeky levers don't come easy to me, but at this point, I've now spent five months working at it intensively, and have made numerous groups, and worked on various projects with other people in those groups, with our objects set to groups.
I am often bewildered why I can't even edit my own objects in my own group, it is buggy.
Sometimes, a fellow group member has to come and sell me her objects in order for me to access them.
Sometimes we have to exchange that permission on the calling cards that enable you to modify another's object.
"Deed to group" enables you to jointly collect and distribute money from what I can tell but it is not a sure-fire way to make the permissions work.
When it works, it is simple. An object is clicked off "share with group" and then anyone can move it or get into it or take it off the project. When it doesn't work, it is frustrating.
Usually when people make groups and a project they are intensively involved in getting the building or organizing project done, and they don't explicitly make it their goal to bug-test and check the features of groups.
I think it would be good if a group of people got together explicitly, and rigorously, to test group functions using a standard set of prims, with only the testing of these functions in mind, and recording all their experiences to make a report to the Lindens.

my latest fun is that a fellow builder set some prims to group so i could edit. I could move, resize, change textures, etc.
But I could not select a texture on an individual side of a prim. I could swear that I've been able to do that before with the same "share with group" settings, but not in this case.
So i guess i'll have to be "given" the build so it belongs to me while i edit, then i get to "give back"... arghhhh
