Integrate noosfero with etherpad-lite

[Daniel Tygel]

Hi Ewout,

    These are very good points. We installed our own pad server because 
of that. It's http://pad.eita.org.br . And we also have the liberty to 
say whatever we want to the user in the moment that the pad is created. 
Right now our message is quite simple (welcome! and some bare 
instructions), but it might be interesting to give this warning to the user.

    About the possibility of an admin to turn it off from the web 
administration page: not yet. It's in the environment settings, and can 
be changed by console only. But I think that a functionality like this 
is rather a deeper decision than something we can be turning on and off 
all the time.... anyway, it's sure that the functionality will be much 
better when the admin can turn it on and off from his/her interface. But 
many other funcionalities had their first versions without this 
possibility (like for example the trusted sites for iframe or the 
categories) before a later version implemented it as another 
configuration option for the admin.

     Do you think that the lack of this on/off from web admin interface 
is a blocker for us to merge to noosfero?

         Greetings!
