Can anyone here explain what significant functionality is in the server that you couldn't get out of XMPP? There are already two stable and mature open source server projects out there. Google has contributed to the openfire server and Tigase is still very active with a new release coming out in

OT was an incredible improvement and, as I understand it, OT + XMPP with a standard protocol would have been a phenomenal improvement even w/o any Google provided GUI. There is more discussion of the technical details (and how to save them) on a similar thread over on the Wave Protocol group.

Ok the news is pretty well confirmed. Now let's get serious: what will be done to save and release what has been done until now? Will be the material (API, sites, protocols) kept online even with the project discontinued? I read that this will be kept online until December, but what then?

As far as I know, Google never released the details on setting up your own server. I don't think the Federation protocol was ever fully baked. I could be totally wrong though On Thu, Aug 5, 2010 at 8:01 AM, AkiRoss akirosspo...@gmail.com wrote: Ok the news is pretty well confirmed. Now

Do someone know if there are already community sites to continue the project? There have been several development projects either independently building wave servers (iotaWave is one such) based on the Wave Protocol or using Google's (not complete) FedOne reference implementation. To me, the

I really think Google is being very short-sighted in how they are dealing with Wave. The biggest problem is that it was not publicized nearly wide enough, and was not easily open to enough people soon enough. I still think the proper thing to do is just integrate Wave with GMail and give more

I agree I gave up some projects for wave cause missing API and features. and no company will adopt that without the federation protocol working. and how about the speed? why long time after wave is still really slow? is this the XML protocol (it is XML, right?), the client? I don't know, but when

If Wave was dead simply do not justify a note http://techcrunch.com/ Wave is a good product. If a product is bad no one remembers or mentions it. I think that this is not the case of Wave I'm interested in using Wave and making developments using their API Wave +1 :-) 2010/8/4 Daniel França
