My "cherry-picking" answers are inline:

...

== embedding in mw or not / can we look at both? ==

And we do want embedding, right? And the MW extension would require -lite, or wouldn't it?

Can we setup 2 labs instances, one with classic and one with -lite and a mediawiki instance, so users can already see how embedded pads feel and then vote for having them. (and/or also which etherpad version)

Again, no embedding. Let's ignore this exists. It's great that Thomas wrote this for MediaWiki, but it's not a production-level solution.

I am interested to know why do you think my work is not production-level ? The only thing to improve is https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36319 . Perhaps I/we can fix this at or until the hackathon.

...

Anyone started with these already? Do we have packages? For both? Are they on external repos? (on labs we can include 3rd party, in prod. we can't). (can help with puppet code to add repos and keys)

What about the extension review? Can bump? Remaining issues?

These open more questions:

• Does etherpad-lite have search?

No. As it uses changesets, one can currently not search.

...

• Are we hoping for/expecting less connection failures? (re:

connection analysis).

EtherpadLite (EPL) works well. What is neither working in EP nor in EPL but I proposed that already in https://github.com/Pita/etherpad-lite/issues/190 is "Ultra feature request: make etherpad-lite offline-capable (HTML5)"

...

• The 127.0.0.1 issue is due to setup in production, we'd have to

check again and do not have an easy solution so far.

• Can we preserve all old etherpads and URLs when switching to -lite ?

when upgrading ?

Would be possible. Urls are looking the same, http://server/p/padname

...

Would it help if i copied the content of these tickets to public Bugzilla as well?

Bugzilla has already two components where the aspects could perhaps be filed as "enhancement": i) https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Wikimedia&component... ii) https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions&...
