What is MeetingWords?
MeetingWords is a collaborative editing tool that was available from 2010 to 2024, offering free services for short-term projects. It utilized the Etherpad Classic software to enable real-time document collaboration among users. The tool was designed for temporary use rather than long-term storage, which influenced its operational approach.
In early May 2024, the MeetingWords server experienced a hard disk failure, leading to indefinite offline status. The team is exploring recovery options and potential relaunch using updated software like the new Etherpad or HedgeDoc in the latter half of 2024. As an alternative, users are recommended to consider HackMD.io or other Etherpad-based servers.
