Hi Manuel,
I'm not familiar with User-Notice tags, but I'll trust your judgment.
Perhaps you could also mention the planned outage of Etherpad in Tech News.
It sounds like this will be a low impact outage, but there is a small
chance that someone will be taking notes on Etherpad during a meeting that
is important to them and they will experience a few seconds of information
loss during the time that Etherpad is read only due to the inability to
write new information while the meeting is ongoing.

Thanks - Unfortunately I don't know if that is possible on Etherpad, I
don't have the knowledge to do so.
Maybe I can put an User-Notice tag on the phabricator task, so more people
would be aware of that brief interruption?
Again, we are expecting 5-10 seconds of read-only time.
Thanks,
Manuel.

Hello Pine,
Yes, etherpad will be read-only for a few seconds (5-10 seconds)
I don't know if it is possible to put a banner on Etherpad itself, is
that
