@leandermelms do you have a fork you are working on?

from hackpad.

Yes, but unfortunately I've scheduled updating dependencies which require greater effort until I'm satisfied with the front-end implementation and the JS code, talking to the Scala backend.

IMHO updating Jetty and Solr is important though, since each of them are ~ 5 years old. Jetty 6 is still considered stable. However, HTTP/2 support would be very desirable to have.

Please let me know if you're interested in working on this.

I am interested. Hackpad has a better UX than out-of-the-box etherpad. For some reasons I cannot use hackpad in some environments and have to use self-hosted solutions. Having used Hackpad, etherpad looked primitive to me.

However, Hackpad seems much harder to setup than etherpad. I am thinking maybe we can back-port some parts of Hackpad to etherpad and contribute to the etherpad community as a whole.

Or maybe they have made significant changes outside etherpad and it is no longer relavent to back-port to etherpad. I am not sure. I need some help in understand the architecture of Hackpad.

@ALL @ztl8702 @leandermelms @andreabedini @dokterbob I forked Hackpad, and due to etherpad has move to node.js platform, become etherpad-lite. I think it's hard to put the changes back.
And the Hackpad's tech stack is quite out-of-date. So my plan is moving the js code into modern node.js style (Reactlize, etc ), and re-implementing all the API and URL routings in python

@dokterbob What changes have been made in Whackpad by now ?

Thank you for your invitation, now a days, I'm engaged with hacking Snabb. :) So, I'm afraid that I might have no time dissus it on irc, etc. My plan about Librepad/Hackpad has listed in README.md, It will take 1~2 month or even more.
If you decided to re-write the whole backend ( I'm not a JAVA guy, I love to write py/lua/cpp/go ), I'll join the project.

BTW, You can take my changes :)

Best Wishes,
Li
