Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for support. Etherpad is a real-time collaborative editor scalable to thousands of simultaneous real time users. Anyone can create a new collaborative document, known as a "pad". Each pad has its own URL, and anyone who knows this URL can edit the pad and participate in the associated chats. Password-protected pads are also possible. Each participant is identified by a color and a name. The software auto-saves the document at regular, short intervals, but participants can permanently save specific versions (checkpoints) at any time. Merging of changes is handled by operational transform.
Highlights
- Etherpad itself is implemented in JavaScript, on top of the AppJet platform, with the real-time functionality achieved through Comet streaming.
- A "time slider" feature allows anyone to explore the history of the pad.
- The document can be downloaded in plain text, HTML, Open Document, Microsoft Word, or PDF format.
