The goal of the project is to reproduce the most common operations available to all web clients: wave reading, channel stream reading, and possibly writing later on. (To clarify here: the "protocol" is the JSON mess via which browsers are currently communicating with the Google Wave servers -this way, no extra efforts from the Wave team is necessary) This is a non-official implementation; as the protocol is subject to changes, it might be broken, or unavailable at any time; but we will make a best effort in keeping it up-to-date with the latest developments.
