Using setgid on directories will cause group to be preserved on its children 
(e.g. chmod g+ws dir) but umask controls the permissions.  If you don't want 
to set it to 007 globally or for all users you could create a script they have 
to source before starting work, or get individual users to add it to their 
.bashrc.
