We have worked
with Google and the Google Wave team to make the following changes to
the plan, which I think you will appreciate:
We have re-enabled pad creation from the EtherPad home page.
We have begun planning how to open source the code to EtherPad and
the underlying AppJet Web Framework. We will continue maintaining new
pad creation from the EtherPad home page at least until we have open
sourced the code, and work hard to make sure there will be no or minimal
service disruption in the future.
