Any other wavers out there? Google added googlegroups to wave. Check
for waves under contacts and click group waves. It seems like an ideal
format for this kind of forum. If anyone needs invites I have 21 left.

Hi,

I'm on but not doing very much with it. Anybody need an invite?

How does it compare with other project-management tools (specifically for group projects)?

Curious,

Hmmm… well that depends on how you intend to use it I guess.

Basically a wave is like an email, that updates live like chat, allows
editing throughout like a wiki page, and can embed gadgets with things
like maps and stuff. Building gadgets is pretty straightforward for
someone with a little html/js knowledge so you could build things like
charts and so on if you wanted to… or maybe someone has for the kinds
that you want.

Oh … and with regards to groupware, it allows you to invite multiple
users to participate all at the same time working on the same "wave"
with updates from all of them sent between all the users. There's also
a history function so you can scroll through versions of the wave as
people edit it.

Thanks for the responses.
Am currently working my way through the Wave guide available at <http://completewaveguide.com/>.
(Don't need to pay for it. Click on the chapter titles and you get the text, one printable chapter at a time.)

I’ve got my Wave invite sitting in my inbox. Discovered once I received it that my browser is too old to use with Wave... Browser is too old because OS is too old because the computer is too old... Doh!

Looking forward to joining the Wave once I’ve upgraded my entire equipment in the new year! :-)

Best wishes

Betti

Hi,

can you rephrase it? I don't quite understand what I am supposed to
see/do (but there again, I am not sure I understand how this wave thing
works as yet). Besides GW seems to me very much in beta (if not alpha...)

Google wave is currently in "preview" which is before beta for google projects.

There's an introduction video on youtube included in your first wave
that should help explain it. Some other websites that might help you
if you want to learn more are:

http://lifehacker.com/5376138/google-wave-101
http://completewaveguide.com/

I'm sure there is plenty of other information out there on the
internet if you google for "google wave" in almost any language.

If you want to find this googlegroup in google wave, under the
contacts panel on the left you will see
mac-for-t...@googlegroups.com. If you click on that a dialog
will pop up and you can click on "Group Waves" to get access to a list
of waves that the group is a member of, which will include at least
one by me asking if anyone else out there is using it.

Hi again,

I was wondering... I get all the postings on two different e-mail
addresses... I must have set it like that (well, I hope...), but I
cannot find the way to change the setting. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Andrea

Thanks for your attempts to explain this. The group wasn't anywhere in my
contact panel, but I was able to find it by popping the email address into
the search window under Contacts. And having found it, I added it to my
contacts. But I haven't even started reading any of the materials, so I'm
still at a loss. And I'm afraid your explanations have been over my head. I
think I understand most of the words, but I can't grasp what they might mean
in terms of something I would actually do myself. Obviously I need to study
up a bit if I want to use this. But _do_ I want to use this? Maybe I won't
know till I study up. But if I'm not going to use it, why study up? Catch 22
or something.

Fred, I'd be interested to hear your take so far. As you work through the
guide, are you getting a sense that it may be useful for, say, freelance
translators? For members participating actively in JAT? For . . .?

Gosh, wasn't I dumb....

Anyway, thanks Rodolfo.

This is a test, let's see if it has worked...

One quick note. Google wave, and other javascript-based apps, run
orders of magnitude faster on Google Chrome. I didn't believe it until
I saw it, but now I'm a Chrome convert--especially now that they came
out with linux and mac versions. Wave gets bogged down rapidly if you
are on any other browser.
