I'm quite practical in these matters. I don't require Fedora branded services for
Fedora-related work (I'm not even sure why it is better; we use freenode IRC server
and not some internal Fedora IRC server after all, as one example), I like to use services
that "simply work". Etherpad seems superior to Gobby to me.
Yup, I agree ... the only restriction I'm aware of is whether the
project is FOSS.

AFAIK "not ready yet".

I wouldn't discriminate against service name, it's just regular public etherpad
instance and we have a public meeting. But we can use any other instance if you prefer. I
just have good experience with this one, that's all.
Sounds good! Once tflink confirms he's okay with etherpad and can
migrate his existing sample documents elsewhere ... we'll use the
piratepad URL you provided.
Thanks,
