Hello again!

As before, I have a test instance of MediaWiki and Etherpad Lite running, and I'm looking for people to help me test an extension that ties them together!

If you're interested in testing the extension without any setup, you can just head over to my TestWiki [0]. If you'd like to get the extension set up on your own, you can try the Extension page [1] for more instructions.

There is a long list of new features, probably the most notable are:

* Fork pads! Yes, multiple pads per wiki page! * Prettier, and more numerous, formatting buttons! * More robust authentication via a new Etherpad Lite plugin! * "Collaborate" button! * Auto-fork when you click "Collaborate" on a page that has been edited since the last pad was created! * Kick users who are annoying from a pad you created!

So, feel free to test. If something seems a little wonky, or outright doesn't work, please do file a bug report on Bugzilla [2].

Thanks again for the help! Oh, and I've registered #ethereditor on Freenode, in case people would like to join there rather than file bug reports. I'm usually online in IRC 100% of the time, though not necessarily at the keyboard. I'll be around at least from 16:00 to 17:00 and from 23:00 to 00:00 GMT every weekday.

If you act now, I'll throw in an Etherpad Lite instance [3] that edits wikitext, though you cannot set or change your username from its interface. This could be useful for temporary sessions of editing wiki pages collaboratively, if people were interested in that sort of thing.
