Preface

For the past few weeks we've been trying out Google Wave with Google Groups (a powerful combination, allowing for instance a dev-heaven, or ace group, to own unlimited waves, easy accessible in related folders / searches). The past days have been very exciting, with a lot of fun, and very productive moments. Obviously there's a lot left to explore, and to find the perfect workflow that fits us.   We're also developing some projects that interact with Wave, ranging from the most basic form of embedding waves, to robots, and hopefully more goodness in the future. Have a look at a prototype over at: http://wave.dev-heaven.net
