Comments.Text: It sounds like your major hurdle is transferring the data, correct?  As long as all of your people are using the same software and have copies of the camera originals, you should just be able to email small .xml .edl or project files to communicate edits with your partners.  To get a copy of the originals in everyone's hands, consider physically mailing hard drives.  That, or web hosts like DropBox.

  With the other problems you have in your current pipeline, I would just transcode your source files to a low quality, low res intermediate proxy. Have other editors work off the low quality, small size videos and simply replace the proxy in the final render.
  
  There will be some minor losses in this process due to things like color changes and such from the compression on the proxies, but a final color grading pass will counteract that largely and either way, the problems you are going to get from the various frame rates and resolutions far overshadow the very minor issues you'll get from using the low quality proxies.

  Sound like you nailed it there, I work on projects from my Mac Pro and MacBookPro.
  
  I have all mead copied on both devices and backed up on a Extenral HDD
  Using FCPX I start the edit on one machine and then DropBox or GoogleDrive the project file (As all the media is kept separate from the project)
  I then can just drop it back into the folder and it will be up to date.
  
  I only work like this as I do most of my editing at home but use my MBP while on lunches at work etc
  
  I would jsut pop all the media on a Ext USB HDD and mail the original files and project folder structure as long as this all stays the same it should be effort less, otherwise using some proxy files using a standard file and folder structure so it is all kept to this standard.
  
  all my project use the same structure which means I always know where my files are and if anything happens I know where to look straight away
