I can't describe how helpful this is for some of the open source projects that I contribute too. Sometimes it's hard enough getting folks to review patches, etc, but getting people to write docs is like pulling teeth at times. This makes it way easier to tweet or announce in IRC that a doc is being edited and in no time you can have 4-5 people working on it and it's finished in a fraction of the time. BTW, Etherpad was released as an open source project (https://github.com/ether/pad https://github.com/ether/pad seems to be where the development lives) as part of the acquisition and there are tons of clones out there if you still want to use something simply with no sign-in, etc. Check out: http://piratepad.net/ep/search http://piratepad.net/ep/search or http://typewith.me/ http://typewith.me/
