The Google Wave protocol isn't terribly hard to implement, as it is only really an extension of XMPP, which is XML over TCP/IP with a crappy and overly verbose DTD. This isn't something some of us haven't already done repeatedly over the years. (First time I built this sort of system was 2001/2002 for a online fantasy sports site) Bindings would only take a day or two, the trick is really adding a robust server to Squeak/Pharo/etc, and the engineering for that infrastructure (say 10k concurrent per node) is beyond what the VM can realistically handle. So interfacing with Google Wave, couple days of work. Sharing Smalltalk code and editing it over Google Wave, well keep your eyes open cause that's already underway :)<div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Just got a wavesanbox[1] account and I can't help thinking this would<br>
be a good (global?) comunication medium (enriched emails,<br>
mailing-lists, tutorials, technical discussions and also bug<br>
tracker...).<br>
<br>
What do other think ? Could we create a Smalltalk related waves/groups<br>
as a start ?<br>
<br>
And what about having bindings and a protocol implementation in Smalltalk ?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

[1] wave is a new tool from google aiming at redefining emails and<br>
instant messages (based on waveprotocol)... The application proposed<br>
is epecially interesting (to me) in its collaborative creation/edition<br>
of "waves". Video: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_UyVmITiYQ" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_UyVmITiYQ</a><br>
