What is Etherpad?

Etherpad is an open-source online editor that enables real-time collaborative editing. Users can create and share a document link to work together on articles, press releases, to-do lists, and other content in a shared workspace. All instances of Etherpad provide access to the data through a well-documented API and support import/export to various data exchange formats. The platform can be highly customized through a wide range of available plugins to suit users' specific needs.
