Etherpad was a nice little tool, very effective at what it offered, I’m sure the guys who developed it will bring a lot to the Wave party. But seriously, Wave is nowhere near functional yet, it’s confusing, and glacially slow. So is there a decent alternative to Etherpad that is usable – right now?
