- This page is mainly about Wikimedia's Etherpad installation. For information about the software in general, see the Wikipedia article w:Etherpad.
The Wikimedia Foundation's Etherpad installation (etherpad.wikimedia.org) is a service for real-time collaboration and text editing. It is frequently used in the Wikimedia movement to document meetings and conference discussions.
Note: the etherpad database is not suitable for any long-term storage—don't expect important data to stay there—copy it to a wikipage or elsewhere once you have finished collaborating in it.
History[edit]
According to this post to wikitech-l, the old Etherpad was replaced by a new installation of etherpad-lite in 2013. Old pads were archived to etherpad-old.wikimedia.org, which was removed on Monday, 30 December 2013.
