+Etherpad lite is a really-real time collaborative editor spawned
+from the Hell fire of Etherpad.
+We're reusing the well tested Etherpad easysync library to make it
+really realtime.
+Etherpad Lite is based on node.js ergo is much lighter and more
+stable than the original Etherpad. Our hope is that this will
+encourage more users to use and install a realtime collaborative
+editor. A smaller, etherpad-lite: manageable and well documented
+codebase makes it easier for developers to improve the code and
+contribute towards the project.
+
+See README.Slackware for some Slackware notes setup (with things
+to do before and after building the package).

+abiword (with AbiCommand plugin) is required to import/export pads.
