Etherpad transition to Etherpad Lite

Sorry for that question, but I´m not so firm in using etherpad:

I have an etherpad named: https://etherpad-mozilla.org/zwSV

When I open this, it is automatically forwarded to https://old.etherpad-mozilla.org/zwSV
btu the content is an old one of yesterday morning.

We worked on that at aprox. 13.00 EMT and this Version is not there.

What can I do?

Moving to mozillians to get more people notified.

That’s cool :slight_smile:

@AllanSmithee The archive took hours to make and was obviously done before you had made changes.

I think that content is only accessible through a bit of a process. How important is it to you? And how urgent?

Wouldn’t it be possible for converting all public+team pads to public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/team-padname automatically and set a redirect from the old link?

@asdofindia Right now that can’t be done unless we have admin access to the team in order to get the list of all URLs (among other requirements).

Good Question:-)
We used the etherpad for protocolling a meeting. So I would say quite important and urgend.

Thanks for your quick answer. I would appeciate, if you can tell me, what is possible to recover and in wich periode of time.

Hello George,
I am a volunteer from Mozilla Bangladesh community. Mostly I contribute on SuMo l10, forum and advocacy. The thing is all of our past event and meeting records, future events planning was written in Etherpad. Even we have two event on Friday and Saturday. All the session planning was there and that pad was so important for us. Now I can’t recover it through the method you describe.
Closing etherpad for bugs is a good decision but it’s really really very bad decision doing it without our acknowledgment. I think there are so many Mozillians who find this odd. Because that was our data and it’s gone without our confirmation. You people are just saying it now that, “It must be retired”. That means you were planning to close it, so you may give us a notice to shift our data before closing. In a open and broad community closing a key communication tool without any confirmation, it is really poor decision. Even I have tried so many preferences tweak after seeing the “Secure Connection Failed” error on etherpad’s website. And I think many other Mozillian will do the same thing. So I am really frustrated about this decision.

Thanks for the feedback on the impact that this is having. I will pass it
along to those in Mozilla IT.

We’ve created a process now for getting the info required to recover team
pads. We can’t commit to a timeline on this yet but please fill out the Doc
and we’ll keep you updated:

Thank you for your quick approach and I hope important pads will be recovered soon!

Hi @george

I tried to recover an urgent working pad of our local SuMo team, but failed to do so. Can you please give me a copy of this pad. This pad is very much important for our running sprint, if we can not recover it, we (reviewer) will have hard time :frowning: .

Wow, thats service. I have connection to the former etherpad and coult save our meetingcontent.

Thank you very much.

(and sorry for my poor english;-)

I’ve started a topic in Community WebDev to discuss what features are missing from Etherpad Lite:

Update – Public pads from the following teams have been migrated to the new Etherpad Lite instance using the “http://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/teamname-oldpadname” format. For example https://remo.etherpad.mozilla.org/call-20-08-15 becomes https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/remo-call-20-08-15

Many of the pads are named slightly differently. Instead of the “-” after the teamname, it should be “.” … if a pad doesn’t work, please try this different naming convention.

Those admins who requested access for these pads (through http://goo.gl/forms/0qD9tkRlBU) have been emailed a list of the pads that have been migrated and the new URLs. Please continue using that form and we will continue migration.

Hi @george

I was looking for your Bangladesh team pad

Sorry … bangladesh should have been included in the list. It has been migrated.

Thank you George for driving this and the rest of the team for making it happen.

Are there any plans for the private or password protected pads?

More pads migrated. See updated list:
https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/etherpad-transition-to-etherpad-lite/4529/25

We’re working on plans for this.
