I was looking into etherpad-lite as a possible basis for a service to help with concurrent editing. Still haven't made a decision there whether it is a good basis or if we should write our own (should we even want to do concurrent editing).
I am told that etherpad-lite is a bit less stable than etherpad, but I'd like to try running it ourselves to see for sure. The main benefit of etherpad-lite is that it doesn't run in a byzantine Java-based JavaScript environment kludged together in 2008; it's much more modern. So there are fewer things for us to comprehend, if we want to get serious about such kinds of services.

It needs only a fraction of the resources of Etherpad.
I believe Neil Kandalgaonkar was working with the Etherpad Lite devs at some point to... do some thing cool. I forget what.
