Tkl Etherpad is a real-time collaborative editor, sort of like a web-based multiplayer Notepad that allows groups of users to simultaneously edit a text document, with the ability to display each author's text in their own color. There is also a chat box in the sidebar to allow meta communication.

Etherpad is based on Etherpad Lite and includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that.

No default passwords used for security reasons, all passwords will be set on first boot. After installing Etherpad, you can test the appliance by logging into the webmin. More information about installation and usage can be found at etherpad-light github

This appliance does not include Abiword or Libre Office. One of these tools is required to export pads, but they add significant size to the image. They are easy to install, please see below.
