Well setting the directory to g+ws will take care of the group name, but
doesn't fix the permissions.  Changing the umask setting for all the
users might take care of it though.

A umask of 0002 certainly makes it do the right thing for me.  The
default is normally 0022 on most systems.

Another option is using posix acl to set the defaults but it is a bit
more complicated (although much much more flexible too).
