Fun feature: etherpad playback

[Mel Chua]

Mostly for the amusement of folks who haven't seen this before - 
etherpad (the collaborative text editor we used for sprinting on 
marketing deliverables with groups of Allegheny students today[0]) has a 
playback feature.

For instance, frantic video from the one-page release notes sprint today 
can be seen at 
http://typewith.me/ep/pad/view/one-page-release-notes/latest. Shiny!

[0] I would love to see a Fedora instance of this service up, actually. 
I know it doesn't scale as well as Gobby, but the barrier-to-entry for 
usage is significantly lower. I'm also pretty sure the packaging would 
be... entertaining.

Let me echo that: awesome.

I'll have a screencast reflection up about this tomorrow (I hope).
That is, I just captured an actual video of the textual revision
replay, and will add some commentary/overlay, which I'll post online.
What I think was absolutely awesome about this was... well, there are
lots of things.

It's a blast being able to see the process; thank you for pointing that out.

Cheers,
Matt
