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.

Hi Cash,
Of course you should have an account, so i requested your invite. Are you sure Eric doesn't have an account yet ? If you consider Eric to be a valuable option, please send me his email.

I'll take one too if you're not out ;)
brett@elgg.com
I'd guess that Eric has an account. I mentioned him because I thought you might want to talk to him to see what ideas he has.
Thanks for the invite!
Hi Brett,
Ok added you to the invitation list. It says it will take some time, but you should be getting an email soon.

Hi Workpeeps,
Sounds cool. It seems the problem is that we would have to create user account for every user in our websites. That is certainly impractical.

I agree with you there is definitely room for improvement, but this is a solid start. I think with a little collaboration the wave plugin would be a great addition to any group. Especially if it could be edited from Elgg without the user having to create a google wave login.
Your thoughts?
Hi Workpeeps,
Yes, that sounds like a good idea. My other concern, is the data. Inside elgg, all the data is easily backed up. But i haven't seen this in google wave. I think the best application for google wave inside elgg would be a forum, or group discussions. What to you see as possible applications?

Well well!
Guess what? My prediction failed.Today Google announced, that google wave pretty much failed:

Oh well. Missed in that one. This one will not fail: The western world will crash. Get ready for huge changes.
