283100db6b runtime: deprecate node 8.x. Require node >= 10.13.0 starting from Etherpad 1.8.3
Nodejs 8 will be EOLed on December 31th, 2019 (https://github.com/nodejs/Release).

This means any future Etherpad version released from 2020 on should require at
least the next LTS (10.13.0). Let's keep some margin and decide that the first
Etherpad version dropping node 8 compatibility will be 1.8.3.

Closes #3650.

1dd2004f1b security: since there is no dedicated security group, I take charge for now.
Disclosure of vulnerabilities should be handled by a dedicated, multi-person
group, which for now does not exist. I take charge (hopefully temporarily) of
being that point of contact for now.

decfdb6abe readme: language revision. Removed stale info.
Tried to simplify the document, to reduce unneded info, and to use a less
informal language.

For example, the introductory links describing git made sense 10 years ago.
Today they are not needed to understand what Etherpad is.
And mercurial was always better than git, anyways :)

The mailing list and the IRC channel seem pretty dead by now. Let's just
move everything to Github issues, which was the de facto situation anyways.

About the donation links: I am the maintainer, and I do not know the identity of
the owners of the donation links, so it is correct to remove them. The same was
done on the website three months ago:

Mention this briefly in the main README.md, also.

Closes #3578.

9d35d15ae3 node8: require nodejs >= 8.9.0, npm >= 6.4
Next version will be Etherpad 1.8. As planned in #3424, we are going to require
NodeJS >=8.9.0 and npm >= 6.4.

This commit implements that change and updates documentation and scripts.
Subsequent changes will get rid of old idioms, dating back to node < 0.7, that
still survive in the code.
Once migrated to NodeJS 8, we will be able to start working on migrating the
code base from callbacks to async/await, greatly simplifying legibility (see
#3540).

Closes #3557

25da955161 README.md: on install, explicitly instruct to clone the "master" branch
The install instructions relied on the default branch being "master" on Github.
This has no longer been the case for some time now.

Let's be explicit, and directly advise new users to put themselves on the stable
branch ("master").

49449453c9 README: a lot of packages mentioned in the readme are not really needed, simplify
libssl-dev, gzip, python, gcc have never been really needed for Etherpad itself.
They were probably needed back in the day to manually compile nodejs.

9aaa02ec70 installDeps: no need to download jquery at starting time. Remove curl dependency
In installDeps.sh we have a bunch of code (from 2011) that checks for the
existence of jQuery and eventually downloads it, but since 1239ce7f28 (year
2012) jquery is vendorized in /src/static/js/jquery.js.

Also, stop mentioning curl as a dependency in the README.md

10f0cb3253 security: suggest installing ep_hash_auth to get rid of plain text passwords
In its current form, Etherpad stores passwords for users in plain text in
settings.json. We should at least mention the opportunity of installing
ep_hash_auth to start tackling this problem.

The advice was added in README.md and in settings.json.template

7544585908 runtime: enforce minimal node version to 6.9.0
Etherpad 1.6.6 does not run on node <= 5 already.
Node 6.9 is the first LTS release in the 6 series, and comes with npm 3.10.8.

Declarations in package.json are advisory unless the user has set
`engine-strict` config flag.

Updated the docs accordingly.
