I want to use EtherPad (or a clone). My site is running Ruby on Rails. API or local install?

I'd like to utilize an etherpad interface on my website. Two questions:

1) is there any site with an etherpad api that I could just call remotely? 2) if not, how much trouble is it to install scala and have the two run concurrently?

Thanks

Solution

  • Check out http://piratepad.net and http://ietherpad.com

    And you can embed those etherpad instances using a simple iframe as suggested here: http://etherpad.com/ep/blog/posts/embedding-etherpad

    There doesn't seem to be a proper API yet for more robust interactions.
