Thanks to our infrastructure improvements, we've been able to invite everyone who's requested a beta invitation so far. Going forward we hope to respond to new requests within a few days.
Though this is a milestone for us, we still consider the site to be in "closed beta" while we tune the infrastructure and address connection issues and editor bugs. We have high standards for web apps, and we're happy to say that we've kept the site online through all the back-end changes, avoiding any data loss or extended down-time. We can't wait to re-open the site, better than ever, in early 2009.
The process of writing EtherPad has meant evolving the AppJet platform a lot, while being both its producers and consumers. It's thanks to AppJet that the EtherPad app went from conception to launch so quickly. Can a platform like AppJet be both "easy and powerful", like we say on the AppJet homepage, and drive substantial apps like EtherPad? It will when we're done with it!
