While prevailing sentiment seemed to be that Google Wave is all but finished as a standalone product, Google has made a pair of big announcements about the service. Google's Alex North has published a blog post which seems to indicate that something different is going on.
Wave is not so much dead, as preparing to enter the second chapter of its saga. To that end, Google will be open sourcing additional code (more than 200,000 lines were already open). That doesn't mean the entire project is going OSS as you may have read elsewhere. Think of the Chromium/Chrome model -- while the vast majority is open, there are certain things which Google can't (codecs, for example) and others they simply don't make part of the open source code.
They're also working on delivering Wave-in-a-box, which would include a server and web client that developers and administrators could self-deploy and manage. Heck, maybe you'll even be able to slide a Google Collaboration box into your rackmount underneath that fancy search appliance.
Moral: don't count Wave out just yet. It's back for round two, and its code will no doubt be cropping up in other Google apps soon enough.So it turns out Google Wave isn't actually dead... originally appeared on Download Squad on Fri, 03 Sep 2010 08:30:00 EST.
