Nobody in the group has a machine that is running 24/7?

Nope.

And nobody has a spare machine they could install Linux (or whatever)
on?

Probably - I have some spare machines... But I can't hook them up to the
net 24/7

A Subversion
server will not need a very powerful machine, especially if it is being
accessed over a relatively low-bandwidth home internet connection.

If you really can't set up a server, one other approach is to use a
distributed version control system. Such systems allow everyone to
keep their own copy of everything and pass patches around between them,
often through something like e-mail. I haven't really used them much,
but supposedly they are designed to make it easy to track things and
keep everything in sync properly.

Two distributed version control systems are darcs and git.

http://darcs.net/
http://git.or.cz/

Unfortunately, the darcs page seems to be down at the present moment.

I'll have a look into them.

Thanks,
