Terry, Those are good questions. Some ideas could be drawn from how Google Documents and Spreadsheets do their concurrency. As for Leo, you raise some serious issues, but with some careful thought these could be resolved with a combination of subtree locking and a chat window. For example, if I'm editing a node, nobody will be able to delete or move that node or any of its ancestors until or unless I commit my changes.
