Hello,
I must admit the first time I was asked to use etherpad my first movement was to don't like it.
But after some use, it seems so well fitted for our work (collaborative writing of small documents), that my mind completely changed.
However I'm worried to have documents spread randomly and to have early versions accessible with google.
So I think we should use a "professional" ietherpad account (as far as I understand it's free) - any of us - and use some sort of tree organisation.
for example a starting point as
ietherpad.com/opensuse-marketting
with a summary of the other page (table of contents)
and for example, a page
ietherpad.com/opensuse-marketting-flyerv4
for the flyer in discussion
I think once a page is openned it's possible to have several administrators. I think also that we can accept any volunteer to connect on this etherpad, my only concern being google (or other indexing system).
Jos, what do you think? will you open this page or do you want me to do? or do you prefere to stay completely open?
I do think it's a good idea to have a close etherpad. The problem right now is that none of the 'free' etherpads out there are very stable - they are down quite frequently. Ideally I'd like to have our own etherpad install. There is an openFATE request for that: https://features.opensuse.org/310652 There are some packages now but afaik it's a bit complicated to get it up and running. If you want you could check the packages, see if they install and work on an openSUSE system and then talk to Darix or so to get an etherpad up and running somewhere... You willing to do that?
thanks jdd
