Re: EtherPad Open Source Release
#32Thanks to The Google & The Etherpads! I fully expect to see 30 different sites offering this now, and HN to be full of links to them tomorrow.
For those of us who have been working on side-project competitors for a few months this is a worrying prediction, and quite probably correct. Can HN name any niches that they feel should be filled with a similar product?
But to 'compete', tailored support for any non-technical niche. The equivalent of the "Basecamp for X" phenomenon, where X equals churches, fashion, teachers, politicians, etc.
Something for co-authoring & proofing academic papers would be nice, but I suspect neither a professor or a student would pay for it.

Make it more technical. Monospace, syntax highlighting, version control, TeX, markdown. Would also make an interesting mash-up with Bespin.

#37Does this mean it definitely was talent (including know-how etc) rather than technology or market acquisition?

Looks like the cp failed. What operating system is this on?
Re: EtherPad Open Source Release
#40Does anyone knows the minimum requirements? I was planning to deploy it on a low cost vps, but I suspect that it's going to need at least 1GB of ram.
