using multideveloper questions

Hi, just some few questions, reagarding setup/using multideveloper.
(maybe users of multideveloper can answer this ;-) )

1.) How are you guys maintaining the servoy_properties file? (for all the db-entries) or is every developer using the same? and how
2.) What is the easiest way, of keeping all plugins in sync, on all developers.
3.) Must all developers shutdown, when I export a solution in one of the developer?
4.) When I have set multi-developer mode, I can’t seem to open developer anymore, for quick changes of DB-entries, etc… so I have to do this by hand now. true?
5.) Even when I have switched off multi-developer, I had a hard time, to make the developer work a again. I even had to shutdown the Sybase Ianywhere, before the developer was working normally (non multi-developer) again. Is this known?

I would like to see some whitepaper, of do’s and don’ts regarding multi-developer.
