[OOC][Info]Nothing Better Than This Wiki

[robkelk]

Brent, in regards to adding Etherpad to the wiki as a tool for real-time interactive writing, I really think you should take a look.  It can definitely be applied as a tool for a website - in fact, there is even an SSL enabled version already on Wikimedia.  I'm pretty sure that will make it a lot easier to apply it to our wiki.

(See a full list of websites that use Etherpad here: https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/w...erpad-Lite )

Also, there is an extensive list of incredibly useful looking plugins here: https://static.etherpad.org/plugins.html

Whatcha think?

I see that the GitHub pages eventually lead to MediaWiki's page Extension:EtherpadLite, with a description of the prerequisites and security concerns. "The Etherpad Lite server is not part of the extension."

EDIT: "In the current version, the Etherpad username can be overwritten and forged by pad users." Not good... we might need to wait a bit.
