One thing I don’t get in the above approach, is how you can get syntax highlighting. Any programmer’s editor will provide this but I don’t think that outliners or mindmappers do, though admittedly it’s not a feature I had ever considered while testing outliners. The only exception I know of is Leo, but from my limited knowledge of it is not multi-user.

What’s wrong with flow charts, for which a much broader range of software seems to be available? Apparently, anything you can do with Nassi/Shneiderman diagrams, you can do with flow charts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nassi%E2%80%93Shneiderman_diagram and the latter are much easier to change.
