The project is centralized in TFS and each user works locally on his computer (on his copy of the project). It means, before starting to work, you download the project on your computer, after making changes you upload them to TFS.
We do something similar but we do not have everyone upload their configuration files. We keep one set stored in the project in case a new user needs the whole thing, but we each have our own configuration files on our own machine.
This does add a little administration in that occasionally we have to coordinate our variable lists but it lets everyone keep their own configuration. I think this would let you have individual outlining too.
Thank you, we finally found the file that stores configurations of a project. (.tcCf Extender)
