Hi, folks.
Many of you are still using etherpad.wikimedia.org -- which is old and terribly buggy. Some of you have switched to etherpad.wmflabs.org -- which is new and works well, but which had repeatedly choked in the past couple of days under the stress from dozens of Wikipedians taking notes simultaneously on several sheets.
*The best server to use is http://epl.wikimedia.org* -- also running the new version, but deployed on a production-grade server that shouldn't have those frequent disconnections and load problems.
Cheers,
Asaf
