Place the pages you're working on into a sub-folder that doesn't allow search engine access via a robots.txt in the root. That way you can provide a url to the group but the general public (those outside the group) will never see what you're working on.

This also allows you to use such online tools as Browsershots and the W3C HTML and CSS validators.

You may also want to look into munging your e-mail address when you post.
