Etherpad

About Etherpad

Etherpad is a real-time editor for shared documents called pads. Set up a test pad, invite a couple of people and verify how simultaneous edits and the document history appear. It suits live note-taking and collaborative drafting where a lightweight editor is easier to start than a more elaborate office suite. Your hosting setup determines how people authenticate, how pads are shared and who can access the server. Check the export format if the writing will continue somewhere else. Plugins can extend the workspace, but operators should review compatibility and backups before adopting them for an important shared process.
