You could create individual user shares on a development web server. 

Each developer would check out code to his/her user share to code with.

Subject: Development Environment Setup

Hi guys,

Question on how best to setup our development environment.  I know it's
been asked before, I would like your ideas on our specific setup:

Currently we maintain several applications under many websites, on a
single development server (CFMX7 and SQL2000).  Developers work direct
on the shared development server via VSS (do some work, save it, check
it in to see if it works...very time consuming).  Releases are then done
by the tech support guys, who get sent a list of things to push to test
(which is currently a manual task).  Developers have no access to SQL
Admin or CF Admin.

As you can guess, this isn't the best, and I personally would like to
see us using a better source control system (Subversion?).  I would also
the like the source control and release process to be a lot more
transparent in the overall process.

I have seen mentions of people having devs running their own instances
of CF/SQL, but how the hell do you keep these up to date without
creating a logistical nightmare (i.e making sure every developer is in
sync with both code and external requirements such as IIS setup?)

Cheers in advance..
