They shouldn't see tens of gigabytes. I'd say we're talking a few
hundred megabytes.

As Trevor also mentions, there is the SDK/ADT standalone toolchain for
app development work which is worth looking at too. That could move the
need for the core builds to a small number of people and/or central
server.

For me personally this isn't possible however there are a number of
community members offering consultancy around the project who may be
able to help and may get in touch :).
