[liberationtech] secure text collaboration platforms

2012-10-03 Thread Sam de Silva
Hi there, Can someone help me out - Is http://www.piratepad.net secure? I thought it was, but I can't seem to access it via SSL. It'll also be really useful to know of 'piratepad' type platforms that are secure, and there's controls over deleting the collaborative pads/docs. Thanks, Sam. --

Sorry, I misremembered the problem I ran into when trying to configure Etherpad Lite with SSL support - the problem was with my certificate, not with Etherpad Lite. Thanks for the correction. Cheers, Michael Pavol Luptak wrote: >On Wed, Oct 03, 2012 at 01:10:28PM +0100, Michael Rogers wrote:
