Hi all,
I've already inquired Michal personally but he claims to be busy (an outrage!) so I'll ask here.
The question is: can we have an Etherpad installation for openSUSE somewhere?
The reason why this would be good is mostly control (being able to control access) and convenience - you can have a marketing domain with a list of the marketing etherpads etc etc so you don't loose links to your pads. Also, we now use Piratepad, some day it might go down or something, having it under our own control is nice.
we could set it up in a VM for it. though we would need the details what you need exactly and who will maintain it in the long run.
What's needed ain't too complicated - at least as far as this complete server-noob is concerned :D Just an etherpad install with me as admin (initially) - it needs littel work from there. Except for some script to check if it's still up and if not, to automatically restart it. I've heard it can be crashy :D I'm mostly looking for a setup which simply allows to give ppl accounts or open up etherpads to the world - Jeff Mitchell has set this up for the KDE marketing team, I'm sure he'll be willing to describe how he set that up and with what features (if any).
your friendly opensuse infrastructure team
Duuude :D
