TheNextWeb is reporting that Google may be set to announce Google Wave servers for federation later today.Currently Google has two Wave infrastructures available to those outside the company, the first is the developer preview sandbox which has been available since Google I/O earlier year and the second is the mass consumer preview which was opened up to 100,000 participants in September. Google is expected to allow companies and end users to build and host their own Wave servers. These servers will be able to talk to other Wave servers.
TheNextWeb claims that Google Wave co-founder Lars Rasmussen has confirmed Google plans on opening up the sandbox infrastructure for federation later today. More details are expected to follow shortly.
Ive not looked at Wave or have an invite yet, but can this integrate with data etc?
Any documents that get added/updated will send notifications to the users you share/invite that project to.
It also allows you to send emails/messages/notes which remain inside that project area, which everyone gets notified about.
The only downside is... it wont work with networked data (i,e on a server) and it wont keep the physical data updated, i.e you add a project which is already stored on your windows server, you add a file to the new project workspace in groove and its not copied to the server... it only remains virtually.
I really cant see why they havent aimed this at businesses with networked data, it would make an amazing project.
I just hope Wave has better considerations for the collaboration side of things.
We like trying out the latest and greatest, but everything hosted "online" in a cloud or dedicated server is off-limits to us. We have to host everything in-house.
Partially due to trust issues, and partially because of HIPAA.
If we can host our own Google Wave server, then we would be more likely to use it, even if it costs a fee.
If it was flat out released in one day it would have problems and be called buggy, this way generally only tech savvy users play on it (who tolerate a couple of bugs). It stays in the news for much longer - and then later on they have an official launch for even more news and by then its so hyped up for generally use everyone wants a go. - Its pretty much the same model as Gmail was.
Cartmanland Season 5 Episode 6. Pretty funny (y)
business run lot of complex workflow..where MS approach is fine because its desktop < - > web...not a web < - > web
That's why they call it a test group.
its a beta, google makes amazing stuff, this wont disappoint in the end
Groove is such a hungry-ghost.....
You get 20 free invites that will be evaluated before they get it. Other than that... I think this is gonna be revolutionary
