- Rewrite title + About to lead with what Etherpad is for
(authorship, sovereignty, malleability) before features
- Rewrite Project Status to make the maintainer ask specific and
to situate the project's 16-year track record
- Add new "Who uses Etherpad" section with categorical adopter
profiles so institutional evaluators have proof points on-page
No code or behaviour changes.

* feat: add one-line installer script (#7466)
Adds bin/installer.sh, a small POSIX shell script that:
- Verifies prerequisites (git, Node.js >= 18)
- Installs pnpm globally if missing (with sudo fallback)
- Clones etherpad-lite (configurable branch / dir)
- Runs `pnpm i` and `pnpm run build:etherpad`
- Optionally starts Etherpad if ETHERPAD_RUN=1
Users can now install Etherpad with a single command:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ether/etherpad-lite/master/bin/installer.sh | sh
README updated to feature the one-liner above the existing
Docker-Compose / manual install instructions.
Closes#7466

* test: add installer-test workflow + Windows PowerShell installer
- bin/installer.ps1: PowerShell port of installer.sh so the one-liner
also works on Windows via 'irm ... | iex'.
- .github/workflows/installer-test.yml: end-to-end CI that runs each
installer against the PR's own commit (via ETHERPAD_REPO/BRANCH env
vars), verifies clone + node_modules + admin SPA artifacts, and
smoke-tests by starting Etherpad and curling /api. Runs on
ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, and windows-latest. Includes a
shellcheck job for installer.sh.
- README: feature the Windows one-liner alongside the POSIX one.

* test: fix windows smoke test - wrap pnpm in cmd /c
Start-Process can't run pnpm.cmd directly ("not a valid Win32 application").
Wrap it via cmd.exe /c instead, and bump the wait window to 90s for slower
Windows runners. Also dump stderr alongside stdout when the smoke test
fails for easier debugging.

* fix: address Qodo review on installer (#7485)
Two correctness issues caught by Qodo:
1. Node version mismatch: installer required Node >= 18, but the repo's
engines.node is >= 20. Bump REQUIRED_NODE_MAJOR to 20 in both shell
and PowerShell installers, and update the README's quick-install
prerequisite and Requirements section to match.
2. Branch ignored for existing checkouts: when ETHERPAD_DIR already
existed, the script ran 'git pull --ff-only' on whatever branch
happened to be checked out, ignoring ETHERPAD_BRANCH and never
verifying ETHERPAD_REPO. The existing-dir path now:
- validates the remote URL matches ETHERPAD_REPO
- refuses to clobber uncommitted changes (excluding pnpm-lock.yaml,
which pnpm i rewrites during install)
- fetches with --tags --prune
- checks out ETHERPAD_BRANCH as a branch or detaches at it as a tag
- prints the resulting commit short SHA for clarity

Removes ep_page_view plugin from the installation instructions in README.md to aid new users installing etherpad-lite.
According to the plugin directory at https://static.etherpad.org/index.html, the plugin is defunct as it is now part of etherpad-lite core and when I tried installing etherpad with the plugin (following the instructions), its installation resulted in an error every time I opened a pad.
