EtherPad: Real-time Editing with JavaScript

John Resig tells about the new real-time editor - EtherPad. He writes:

I had the opportunity, last year, to talk with the team behind AppJet. They're building something quite cool: A simple platform for developing reusable server-side applications written completely in JavaScript.

They've come a long way since I originally wrote about them late last year. They now even provide a copy of their server-side software along with the full source. This, together with Aptana's Jaxer, means that there is, at least, two high-powered, Open Source, JavaScript server platforms.

Pad is something new altogether. Building upon their existing platform, and adding in Comet streaming, they've constructed a completely real-time, multi-user, text and JavaScript editor.
