Will Jolla run an Etherpad server to collaboratively document our efforts?

tl;dr Please host Etherpad(s).
There is motivating value in even-nearer-to-live interaction. For example, consider user-developer centred documentation: a pad could create further connections between customers, suppliers, consumers and others, especially benefitting the effort of those who find they work better, harder or more effectively when they see a collaborative document change, and grow, even as they supply amendments to the same process. They can directly participate in concerted activities.
I humbly suggest to not try scheduled except between two or three editor-collaborators. It's hard to work as a crowd and small groups might see more progress. It doesn't have to be from nothing: use current public docs as a launch stage on the together subdomain.
I guess people might consider etherpad to be like piratepad (it is). However, the usage and collaborative structure is the main issue for which this question post seeks to prompt discussion: the tool's usage and integration into ongoing workflows rather than individual events.
