How Would You Set Up an Online Writing Group?

    I’ve a colleague who has suggested starting an online writing group with some other colleagues spread around the United States.  It’s my job to come up with the platform for such a group.  The online space would need to be private, capable of hosting files, and editable by the participants.  My first thought was that I’d set up a Moodle for the group, giving every user teacher level access so that every member of the group could create and edit content.
    How would you set up an online writing group for folks who want to share works in progress in order to get constructive feedback and support?  While this, right now, is just for a few teachers, it might blossom into a student project — so any software solution would need to be scalable.
