Switch to etherpad lite
It's re-implementation of etherpad in node.js. Much lighter on server resources and it exposes a nice api to control/setup pads with password, as read-only and whatnot. Potentially openingn up the possibilty to have rss feeds for saved pad revisions.
Re: Switch to etherpad lite
How to switch it?
Re: Switch to etherpad lite
Deployment is straightforward, there's even a ppa for the dependencies.
Basically just follow https://github.com/Pita/etherpad-lite/b ... /README.md
If porting existing pads is required, there's a migration path, but I haven't tried that.
Code: Select all
apt-add-repository ppa:chris-lea/redis-server && apt-add-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js

afaik tobi already looked at it some time ago...
(and yes, +1 for etherpad lite...)

Re: Switch to etherpad lite
Last time I checked (approx half a year ago I think) it missed some features compared to the etherpad we have now (I don't recall what exactly); possibly it's better now, though.
Resource wise it was a lot better definitely.
Didn't try a migration of the database yet, either.

Re: Switch to etherpad lite
i set etherpad-lite up:
http://springrts.com:9001/
Note: database of this instance will be deleted, this is just for testing.
only test-wise, it isn't started when the server is rebooted, also i didn't try to migrate the database, but that should't be hard: https://github.com/Pita/etherpad-lite/w ... erpad-Lite
thoughts?

Re: Switch to etherpad lite
+1, even if testing migration fails and we'd have to move stuff manually
Re: Switch to etherpad lite
Read-only access for game devs please, even if on a ad-hoc case-by-case basis.nice api to control/setup pads with password, as read-only and whatnot.

May I have read-only access to previously confidential engine-dev only correspondence/discussions/personal TODO lists, please.
Re: Switch to etherpad lite
as much as i know, there is no read-only access. but even if there were, there would not be a general way of getting read access to all pads (which is a good thing), but you would have to request a read-only link for specific pads. in practise, if something should be publicised, people with access should probably just c&p it to pastebin and make that link public. that also helps to easily and clearly capture a specific state, like the making up a draft that was agreed upon in a meeting.

Re: Switch to etherpad lite
Why don't you guys use google docs? That makes a lot more sense than etherpad.

Re: Switch to etherpad lite
Because with google docs, you can add editors, you can add viewers, there is chat built into it, and it's a living document.
Google docs has everything etherpad has, and more.
Edit: oh, and it doesn't drain the spring server of resources needed elsewhere.
Edit2: Google+ hangouts with extras has google docs, whiteboard, presentations, video/audio chat and can be broadcast for anyone to watch and can have up to 10 active participants. That makes more sense than either of the above, unless you don't want audio involved, of course.
However, if you guys had to face one another, a lot of this bullshit would probably have been avoided in the first place.

Re: Switch to etherpad lite
Or you could use something like the P2 wordpress theme, realtime discussion and commenting, then maybe bundle in a plugin or two like the 'resolved' plugin letting you mark things as un/resolved. It doubles up as a development blog too, just make it so most posts are closed to public commenting, and you'll all be able to edit each others stuff anyway
e.g.:
http://wpdevel.wordpress.com/

Re: Switch to etherpad lite
migrated to etherpad lite...
if it doesn't fail horrible it will be kept as is.
only issue i found is that the old links slightly changed:
if you use an old url, you get:
Cannot GET /....
if you use /p/... then it works as before...
not sure if i'll add a http-redirect for these urls.
edit: added the redirect.
