Google Wave and Elgg
Google Wave is a new tool for communication and collaboration on the web, coming later this year. It has a very nice set of features, like live language translation, collaboration and discussion participants management. I would recommend you to take a look at their product, which seems to be very promising:
I believe Elgg can duplicate several of Google Wave's main features, and also Google Wave has many capabilities for embedding, so it could be easily integrated with Elgg.
I have requested a Sandbox account, and have access to google's demo, and it looks very powerful. If anyone is interested in testing it out please contact me.
Anyone into programming, or working with Elgg customers should look into this, as i believe it will become a very powerful tool, or at the very least, will be a very great source of ideas to implement in Elgg.

this is very interesting and seems so simular to what i was thinking comments should be like on the river. I am more than intrigued by this.
Should i make a video to show these principles ? So far very few have shown interest. Please feedback.
yes wave will be the next..ermmm..something...so yes go for it in terms of showing the principles...
@dasa actually I am very interested in what this will make possible in the near future. I am already pen and papering ideas that could harness the power of this concept without really knowing what will be under the hood, based on what I saw in the web cast.
I think at this moment I am looking intensely forward to when I can do a little more underneathe the hood, but right now the idea is wandering through my head as I try to complete the things in front of me right now.
I had the same idea for our medical network faces.doccheck.com - the combination elgg/wave seems very promising. I have a sandbox account (georgvw@wavesandbox.com) and maybe one of our developers can work with you on a POC/prototype...
I'm really looking forward to getting my account on google wave , it looks really cool.
I'm especially looking forward to wave based apps on the iphone, with it's push technology, but it could also fit very well with Elgg's river function.
I got an account for wave a few weeks back. Based off some other works I've done (http://ericbetts.org/node/10), I wrote a profile widget for it:
http://beaversource.oregonstate.edu/projects/admin/browser/elgg/branches/elgg1.5/mod/gwave
or svn: https://code.oregonstate.edu/svn/admin/elgg/branches/elgg1.5/mod/gwave/
The way Wave integrates formerly separate functions like email, video, chat, blogging, tweets and real-time collaboration is simply the next incremental evolutionary step in online communication. The only new thing it adds is that all those features are nicely integrated in real time. It does raise the bar, though, and pretty soon every site will have a Wave (or Wave-like) page or function. The fact that Google got there first with proof of concept and will be backing Wave with its immense resources will certainly guarantee wide adoption of the platform. Goodbye blogs, vlogs, podcasts, mailing lists, tweets and Lotus notes. I for one... oh, nevermind. :-)
Ok, so now Google Wave, is starting to get some hype... 100,000 user accounts for a limited test. Even Twitter is going crazy about wave:

So, i've got 8 invites now. Anyone interested in developing something with Elgg/Wave ?

Uddhava - Eric Betts is someone you might want to talk to about this. See http://googlewavedev.blogspot.com/2009/08/prototyping-drupal-module-for-google.html
Also, I'm interested and haven't gotten an invite yet if you wanted to throw one my way.
