Etherpad functionality is offline

gh-board allows for editing of issues via src/components/etherpad.jsx

That file refers to https://openstax-pad.herokuapp.com/ , which is Down for maintenance.

It should be possible to configure the etherpad server to be used (there are many free, and also disable it.

Imo collaborative editing of issues is not a very useful feature.

Single user editing of issues is far more common and desirable, and can be done without extern hosting dependencies, which makes it more reliable.

Oops, I did not realize anyone was using the etherpad functionality; it is back up again.

Also, if you do not want to use the collaborative editing feature, you can click the Issue title and edit the Issue directly.
