Geeks Try Google Wave, Have Mixed Feelings

It doesn't really solve this problem when corporations don't want to trust their data to google. It's well known that gmail doesn't comply with HIPAA/SOX and doesn't offer any kind of guarantee on data when corporations use it, this is a huge issue for adoption in the workplace by many corporations.

I could be missing something though, is Wave something you can install locally and have control over? It's not Google's style so I'd guess not.

If I'm mistaken, I'm more than willing to be enlightened.

Yes, it's an open protocol. http://www.waveprotocol.org/ It's still being revised and edited. There are example clients and servers based on the actual code Google is using. It would have taken you about 5 seconds to search for this, btw. :]

Indeed, I could have searched and dug around for it, but work is calling and I wanted to get in as much hackernews as possible before starting the day. Thank you for the link, will be reading up on it later as it looks very interesting.

Not only that, but it's a federated protocol (like email), so your company can set up its own Wave server, and you can communicate through it with users on any server.

It is, but federation doesn't work yet. They're saying they're aiming for the end of this month for working federation on the sandbox, which I eagerly await :]
