Solved Installation Problems #2

Hi,

today i gave your plugin another try and now i figured out what the problem is: When doing "git clone" of your repository, the externals/etherpad-lite-client is not automatically downloaded. so basically invoking dokuwiki will just lead to an "error 500". After i manually cloned the externals/etherpad-lite-client, Error 500 was gone. The next issue is, that the default settings of your plugin lead to beta.etherpadlite.org, which had a broken installation when i was trying it. Next, i set the etherpad installation url to my own etherpad... Dokuwiki then started complaining about a missing or wrong API Key. Fortunately i could solve the mystery with google, finally found out that i have to check the directory of my etherpad installation, open the APIKEY.txt, copy out the key, take it to the plugins settings --- and it works. i guess this process could be described a bit better in the documentation!

Thanks, I updated the installation information to include the submodules and point to the dokuwiki wiki plugin information.
