I just bought a piece of online software called Weekdone. It's kind of expensive for what it is - it basically lets everyone on the team post their weekly plans, progress and problems and compiles it all into one email that I get. 

It costs $50USD a month for up to ten users. It comes from a crew of cool young guys out of Estonia, of all places. They're typical IT developers from what I can gather - rather than getting up early Jason stayed up until 2 am to give me a call that worked in my time zone (I'm thinking early for Jason might be the crack of midday!).
