EtherPad is Dead: Long Live EtherPad!

8 Dec 2009 · Technology No comments

I announced that EtherPad was dead, but it looks like the public outcry was heard loud and clear and now a new transition plan has been announced in which EtherPad will be released as Open Source software! New free public pads can be created again effective immediately, which was the biggest short-term complaint many people had with the move to close EtherPad. Now that the project will be released to the public, this is even better than if EtherPad had remained an independent entity.
