Google Wave Preview Opens Up On Sept 30th

Posted by timothy on from the well-that-is-what-they'd-say-isn't-it? dept.

snitch writes with this snippet from InfoQ about the current state of Google Wave: "With the Google Wave Preview scheduled for public availability on September 30th, Wave API Tech Lead Douwe Osinga has posted on the Wave Google Group about what the team has been working on along with some future directions. Up until now, with the limited availability of testing accounts there have been complaints on the Google Group from users that wanted to get their hands on this new technology but didn't have access to the sandbox. As Douwe explains, the team has been busy all this time with stability issues and more."

    So it's like a 21st Century equivalent of Lotus Notes?

    Actually they're making a Firefly (the movie, Serenity, actually) reference.

    Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then - explode.

    Jayne: We're gonna explode? I don't wanna explode!

    It would have to be a native GUI app that supports HTML, for the widgets. Wait a minute there is one... a browser!
