Good evening, wikitech-l! I've been developing an extension recently called EtherEditor [0]. I emailed this list about it twice [1] before [2], mostly to ask for help testing it at various times. To sum up, the extension, with proper configuration, enables multi-user, real-time collaborative editing of the wikitext of any page. Well, this project is coming to the point where *I* think it's pretty stable. There are still a few details to iron out, and I'm excited to fix those things, but there are also a few things I haven't ever tested. Most notably, multiple users for an extended period of time, and all the fun bugs that are sure to appear in that case. So I'm here to ask for some volunteers to help me test EtherEditor tomorrow, between 20:00 and 22:00 UTC. I'll be in #ethereditor on Freenode with a list of things to try out, and really, some number of people helping me stress test the connections to the backend would be immensely useful. If you don't have an account on Freenode, or prefer to contact me in some other way, the best way is probably to use this email address. If you have any questions, you can always ask them on-list. If you want to chat about the extension at any time, you can always join the IRC channel (#ethereditor on Freenode), and I'm always online. Remember that IRC isn't necessarily a synchronous communication system, and be patient when asking questions.(Continue reading)
