From the mailing list:
"I've been using Etherpad yesterday and today, and increasingly getting
connection errors for a while, and on trying to submit a help req, get
this notice:
"Oops! A server error occured. It's been logged.
Please email <support at etherpad.com> if this persists."
If this is load related: should we be wary of using that etherpad
server during sessions?"

I can read pages, apparently, but whenever I try to edit the pad after some words (probably when it tries to save) I consistently get this error:
Disconnected.
Server not responding. This may be due to network connectivity issues or high load on the server.
No problems with any other wiki or website.
Oh, it's http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/WM2011ChapterMeeting : someone manages to edit it, I don't know but perhaps I can't because I got in late???
[09:43] <apergos> mark looked at it for awhile, trying to add more threads
[09:43] <apergos> but etherpad is stupid and doesn't like you to do that
[09:44] <Ryan_Lane> etherpad was fighting his attempts at making it suck less
[09:45] <p858snake|l> we could update etherpad at the same time as to kill some of the suckiness for FF users
[09:45] <apergos> if we had the source for the update
[09:45] <apergos> which we don't :-(
[09:46] <apergos> if you have a link, pleeeease add it to the bug

We have the source for this version, though. Someone should just sit down and code it up.
/me appeals to the open source gods
That etherpad should no more used in favor of the labs one at http://etherpad.wmflabs.org/pad/
when we got connection failures last week during the Hackathon it was actually the wmflabs etherpad
