The Etherpad Lite server at http://etherpad.wmflabs.org/pad has been surprisingly popular of late, which has revealed an issue in our version. I think the issue has been fixed in the latest version of Etherpad Lite, so I'm going to hastily schedule a deployment in two hours' time. Please be aware that if you're editing a pad at that time, you may lose work.
In all the upgrade should take no longer than an hour, and I'll ping the list when it's done with.
As absurd as this is for me to be sending out a warning about taking down a labs service, this seems appropriately courteous especially given the amount of use this instance has been getting.
Thanks,

The version that is on the production box is a bit old and has issue with SSL connection. I guess most of us have migrated to the labs one which does not face those issues.
Thanks for taking care of it :-]

All right, the server is going down now and should be back up within the hour. Stay tuned for more.
Thanks all for your patience.

The server is back up, and appears to be working well now.
If you see the server down (usually 503'ing or similar) please contact me on IRC or via email so I can investigate, and please note the time and date you noticed the server going down. This problem sometimes happens when a large number of changes are sent to a single client at once.
Cheers,

I've been in quite important meetings with 15+ attendants where Etherpad Lite has been used exclusively -- so, clearly not for purposes that are testing or staging. So, Labs is the wrong place to have this. Can you coordinate with us (operations team) to move the service into a production environment?
Thanks, Faidon

This has been on my list for some time now, but I never found a good point to do it. There was some work on Debianizing the package, and maybe some splashing around in the Puppet manifests, but I'd be happy to explore the possibility of production deployment in the near future, whenever there's a sufficient contingent of Ops engineers available to assist.
Thanks, Faidon!

Agreed. We use this to track deploys for instance.
