Wave Protocol Prototype Source Code
- cpr 17y agoAh, but the really interesting parts aren't open source. (The server/client part.) Perhaps someday. I'm interested enough in Wave to consider reverse-engineering that portion. I think there are some once-in-a-lifetime opportunities here...
- lyime 17y agoWhat type of opportunities?
- igorgue 17y agoYes, the server and client will be opensourced according to Google (which has a good history opensourcing their stuff). And yep, some people can't wait so here is a server implementation (Python/Django): http://code.google.com/p/pygowave-server/ http://code.google.com/p/pygowave-server/

- ROFISH 17y agoI tried to do it myself and you pretty much have to write your own textarea implementation in Javascript. Wave as an idea is good. As a protocol I think is horrible for Javascript because either implementing the straight server-to-server spec is impossible on a regular textarea, or you need a beefy enough server to parse full-text states between keys for X many users. While Wave is a good idea, and the hype is justified for a closed system, implementing it on your own system requires a deep, DEEP knowledge of Javascript.
