Who should be able to edit the pad(s)? I suppose this might be where the "co-GM" concept makes sense.

Need some general thoughts/advice on where to take it.

At worst, it's just a chatbox with collaborative griefing. :lol

I dunno if I like the idea of the Etherpad being RP-wide. I'd rather see integration into PM conversations. 

If you are going to make it RP-wide, then a GM/Co-GM might have the ability to check off the following permissions:

* GM only (Co-GM obviously can't set)
* GM & Co-GM(s)
* All RP participants (defined by posting in IC/Character thread to avoid casual OOC commenters)
* All Guild members
* Specific people (with textbox to enter comma-delimited usernames)

That's a fair few permissions, but it should cover the wide range of needs. It could probably be paired down to remove GM-only and Specific people if feature creep avoidance kicks in.

Agreed. The thread-based Etherpad would require the ability to limit who can edit it, to minimise griefing (with the ability to open it up allowing its use as a chat-box). And having PM specific Etherpads allows multiple collaborative posts to be written for an RP at the same time, or allows collaborating more privately.

A small tinge of any kind of color (perhaps a color that could fit snugly with this editor I'm typing in) would make the buttons look more natural. The UI itself is not bad, but it could use a bit of life in it. Mixing the currently grey buttons with another color might do the trick, though that's just how I'm seeing it.

That's not a bad idea. Obviously, they'll be a darker shade than the existing coloured buttons, because those are coloured in order to stand out. But what colour(s), though?
