The Wikimedia Foundation's Etherpad installation (//etherpad.wikimedia.org) is an "experimental 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

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.
