Hey,
Have been working on a plugin that integrates etherpad lite. My first plugin for elgg. I am new to php but all is going well, have uploaded what i currently have to git if anyone is interested. here
Will upload to the plugins section once i finish remaining tasks and tidy it all up.
The aim of the plugin is to allow users/groups to create etherpads, which they can then collaboratively write documents with fellow users in realtime.
What it currently does; pad creation/deletion/modification, comments, notifications. configure etherpad from admin panel.
Whats left to do; access control (currently all pads are public) and group pads. Adding the last etherpad options to the plugin settings. Will be working on these over the next few days. Also a few small things like moving remaining strings to languages/en.php and making the add/edit pages sticky, tidying up the code etc.
Anyway, feedback would be much appriciated.
Thanks
edit: change the plugins root dir name to 'etherpad', (e.g should end up like mod/etherpad/start.php) you can test using the following details without having to install etherpad.

Sounds promising. All the best for your first plugin.
Great work. The Etherpad Foundation does lurk here btw ;) Have put a link on etherpad.org, reddit and the google group :)
Kudos to you! :)
Thanks guys :D
Have gotten more done, updated admin settings (has all options now), added widget for profile/dashboard, been working on access control and groups(having a minor issue with sessions, but sorting it out)
Should get rest done over the weekend :)
Very interested to see what you put together and helping out if you need it. Is the Etherpad Foundation working on a similar plugin?
Hey Dan,
a little behind schedule, but just uploaded to the plugins area. here
Also created a new repo as the first was a bit of a mess.
Still working on adding group/private pads. Any help with that would be more than appreciated.
Sorry for not assisting earlier, I'm having some issues getting set up. Please check out the thread at: http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/project/810759/developer/efault/elggpad
