WOW Features

* Clones: nodes and its sub-nodes can be cloned. The two copies will then be synchronized
* Collaboration: two or more people can work simultaneously on the same map Moreover it contains a feature from Eclipse: 


Clones

 * Create clone creates a clone of the currently selected node as the direct sibling.
 * Both source and destination nodes get a (CLONE) symbol (you can disable this in the file freemind.properties, do you need this?)
 * Move this sibling to its place.
 * Every change to the source or the destination node will be synchronized on the other one.
 * This should work after saving and loading later on, too.
 * Several actions are not possible for clones:
   - You can't move one of the clones inside the other
   - Imagine some more as an exercise
 * To disable a clone, move to the source node and choose "Clone node" again (The UI must be tweaked, IMHO)

Collaboration

 * You can share a net in your network. 
 * To do this, you need to specify a port and a password.
 * Others that reach your host and the port can connect with the password.
 * They will get exactly the same map as a local copy.
 * Each change from any participants is distributed among all participants.
 * To end the collaboration, just choose "Share map" again. Then, some seconds later, all clients see, that the collaboration has ended.
 * The title of the window shows the hostname, port and the participants of the collaboration.
 * The change of participants may need 10 seconds to become visible.
 * Each second, each participant tries to get the changes done by others (polling).


Other features

* Jump to the last edit locations (control-q): 
 - If you press Control-Q, you'll get to the node ultimately changed. 
 - Pressing Control-Q again moves to the last but second and so on. 
 - Ten places are stored.
