I've talked about multi-key encryption but it looks like a pain in the
butt to me typing-wise, never used it. Here's a link to a message
thread on how to do it with gpg
http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2003-September/020170.html
The thought is you can spam everyone, and everyone can spam back
regarding changes and it's encrypted n-ways. As computers get faster I
think this technology will start to catch on. That said, I never tried
it and it might be reasonably fast up to some number of keys.

The best web-based thing I've found was PassPack. It's totally
awesome. Each user has their own login to PassPack. Users can share
passwords and assign read/write privileges to them per item being
shared.
