IMHO the first consideration would be that if you have multiply windows, 
or split windows allowing more than one source viewed; you must also 
take care what happens if 2 views, display the same source. Of course 
restrictions could be put in place to prevent this, but in the end, I 
guess it wil be wanted, and will have to be done. therefore:

1) Allow 2 SynEdits to be able to share a textbuffer.

Then depends, if you display them in one window, or multiply windows. 
(in the later you need to add managment for the extra windows)

2) you have to find where the actual visual TNoteBook component (with 
the tabs) is created (either main-ide or SourceNotebook).
To clarify SourceNotebook is not a visible component.It is a class that 
controls the (visible) TNoteBook

3) Make SourceNotebook able to have more than one TNotebook in it's control.

4) Fix all the code using this (things like find active editor, find 
active notebook-page....


This is only a brief overview, I havent looked through all requirement yet.
