I guess you should use a shared directory together with a dedicated group, for 
example:

1) Create a group "workers" and add all users which should work on the same 
set of documents to this group (users must log out and in again for the 
change to be visible for them).

2) Create a new directory for shared documents, lets say "/work", chown it 
to "root:workers" and and set the "s" bit for the group (chmod g+s /work). 
This way, all files created in this directory will automatically be assigned 
to group "workers".

Another posibility would be to use ACLs.

HTH...
