> Full Etherpad Pad Export and Import

Is there a way on the beta site to start from a file? For example, with ethercalc, you can drop an XLSX or CSV file and it creates an instance from that document ( https://ethercalc.org/ )

You would just create a new pad and import that file..

I just started typing some stuff, testing everything out and then it kicked me out. Perhaps it's because I was using foul language?

Nah it's because we're testing some new code on the beta box. I just filed bug #2430 which looks like the problem.

Any word when https://etherpad.mozilla.org will be updated?

MoPad is still running the old etherpad version[1], the release is etherpad-lite[2]. Is there some easy way to migrate from the old etherpad installations?

[1] https://github.com/ether/pad [2] https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite

Looks like mozilla maintains a fork of the old etherpad codebase at https://github.com/mozilla/pad

The plan is to migrate over to the new installation, we're just getting MyPads through which will give team pad functionality.. Mozilla move pretty slow compared to us..... https://github.com/mozilla/pad/commits/master

Is there a free hosted version?

There are many.. https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/Sites-that-run-E...

The source is available at https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite

Is this really EP-lite? The text in the link says nothing about it, but the interface looks like EPl..

We dropped the "Lite" part, it's now just "Etherpad"

Looks cool, but the demo is down...

Yep I was restarting the service, apologies :)

and now the blog is down too...
