EtherPad source code is free, now what?

EtherPad source code is free, now what?

Parent article: EtherPad source code is free, now what?

Financial records, for example, might be convenient to access from multiple locations, but a hypothetical "Gnucash Online" service would not need to share information between users concurrently.
It seems to be that someone did not yet use Gnucash in a group. The locking mechanism of Gnucash Offline requires a fair deal of coordination between multiple users (which we have in the non-profit organisation I work in, using Gnucash). Concurrent updates was something we envisioned for a Gnucash replacement. Sadly the task of creating a new featureful application was too large for the NPO at hand.
