AFAIK, org-mode cannot number section headings on the fly.

Are your collaborators working in emacs/org-mode? If not exporting the
outline will normally result in numbered sections. Of course, it would
be a bit harder work collaboratively on the html and then get it back
into org-mode. :)

One way to create fixed, human-readable references for outline headings
is to use the CUSTOM_ID property.
