Etherpad is a real-time, collaborative wiki.
We maintain documents in pads. You can see them by selecting Pads at the top. :)
As you make changes, others will see them in real-time.
Each person has a colour and can use this to contribute their
opinions, thoughts, or ideas.

All changes are saved automatically; to create major revisions, you
can use the save button at the top right to see major revisions or
mark your changes as a major revision.

For instance, if you login right now, you'll see that the November
Meeting has users in it. You can add ideas to it and others will see
them instantly, and have a sort of in-pad discussion. :)

Etherpad is also a great place for checklists. Tim maintains his git
conversion list on here, and we need to put our cmake conversion list
to make stuff easier. We can also raise issues on how bugs should be
solved or what is priority.
