etherpad-lite stores its data in redis so may be the reason the notes are ephemeral

the notes also disappear from the room after everybody leaves

web exposed at /pad

This is strange, I host my etherpad-lite instance and the note don't disappear. Anyway the etherpad-lite api is documented and it should be 'easy' to fetch the content with a script: https://etherpad.org/doc/v1.8.0-beta.1/#index_gettext_padid_rev. If someone wants to test I have an instance here: http://carlschwan.eu:9001/

Note that they "disappear" from the room, I haven't confirmed whether the actual pads used disappear or not yet

The use of redis meant I couldn't just look at the database to see what was there. Thanks for the pointer to the API
