Tools and practices for small group collaboration?

I will be star开发者_高级运维ting a senior design project in a week with 2 or 3 other engineers. We are electrical engineers but we will need to do some coding for our project.

Right now, I think using Google Code + Visual Studio + AnkhSVN is a good solution on the code side. We also need to:

• Maintain design documents
• Have a smooth way of communicating

Would you recommend anything in particular beyond a central network storage, and e-mail?

Edit: We are not going to set up or configure anything. I would rather just pay for cheap (

Yes, a good wiki such as Atlassian's Confluence.

Wikipedia has a great list of Collaborative Software. I think a decent content management system would be essential for maintaining design documents (especially over plain network storage).

You might try Basecamp , the basic plan is enough for you already.
