The protocol is actually available now; Novell are developing a server 
for use in the enterprise space called "Pulse" using the specifications 
that are already out there....

Ok. I'm not aware of everything, haven't had inspiration to dig through
all the docs etc. This is the first time I've heard of planning to
releasing the protocol itself, which IMO sounds good.

Well yes, but after adding news.povray.org to my newsreader and
subscribing to povray.binaries.images I could read also the messages
from the past. The messages which wasn't sent especially to me, since
no-one here knew I even existed. This is not possible with mailing
lists, if otherwise available archives aren't counted in.

Even today, you didn't choose me to be recipient of this message, nor
did gregjohn at the beginning of the thread (which, in my understanding,
equals a wave). Still I can see both these messages, since I've
subscribed to a group, which this thread is sent to.

From wave I've got the impression that it works like a mailing list, but
holding information of message threading.

	Umm...OK. I wrote my comment a bit defensively because I assumed you 
knew more than I did.

	You've not seen the original video highlighting Google Wave? They said 
it right from the first "unveiling" that the protocol will be open, as 
will most of the source code. The protocol has been out there since I 
first heard of Google Wave...

	Yes, but it *is* possible with Google Wave. That's one of the cool 
things they claimed (and demonstrated). If you're having a conversation 
with 2-3 people, and add another one later on (or one joins later on), 
he can see the whole history.

	Same should be true with Wave as they claimed it.

	Nope. All the things you've said is what they claimed it will be able 
to handle (and a few of those things were demonstrated in that video). 
Maybe not all of it is available yet on the Beta version, though.

Two robins were sitting in a tree. `I'm really hungry`, said the first
one. `Me, too` said the second. `Let's fly down and find some lunch.`
They flew to the ground and found a nice plot of plowed ground full of
worms. They ate and ate and ate and ate `til they could eat no more.
`I'm so full I don't think I can fly back up to the tree`, said the
first one. `Me either.  Let's just lay here and bask in the warm sun`,
said the second. `O.K.` said the first. They plopped down, basking in
the sun. No sooner than they had fallen asleep, a big fat tom cat snuck
up and gobbled them up. As he sat washing his face after his meal, he
thought, `I just love baskin` robins.`

I like all the Google apps I've tried so far. If Wave could be 
integrated with Code, then I'd be favorably inclined toward the move.

I've seen parts of it. I didn't hear it, since Flash is unable to
realize more than 1 sound outputs. The plain image didn't give out much,
while the shooting is styled fashionable and the quality is crap.

Ah, that is something that didn't come out in the short testing. But as
I told, the system didn't work correctly. There might be more
alpha-stage problems than what it seemed.

Check above, same goes here.

That sounds good, we'll see what'll grow out of it.
