Etherpad – Collaborative Document Editing

Etherpad (previously known as EtherPad) is an open-source, web-based collaborative real-time editor, allowing authors to simultaneously edit a text document, and see all of the participants’ edits in real-time, with the ability to display each author’s text in their own colour. There is also a chat box in the sidebar to allow meta communication.

There are many openly accessible Etherpad installations for you to choose as the following list from the Etherpad.org website shows. All links will open in new tabs:
