This is very sad news... I do agree as well that I feel Google didn't keep
their promise as far as releasing the code goes. As far as I can remember,
they actually promised to release the full server and web interface that
were in production (the Acme-Wave example shown was actually an example of
re-using this web interface). This is really what made the developers and
companies hope they would integrate it soon enough. I pity the companies who
have invested in this, hoping to get the code within months as was promised.

It would be great if before retiring, Google would be as kind as to stick to
their word and not let a community of developers with products that do not
have a platform to work on anymore. I also hope that products such as
WaveOne (by ProcessOne) will be open-sourced now that they may be the only
future for Wave development.

This might not be the end of Wave, if the community stays behind the
project, just like Netscape was kept alive until today through Mozilla.

Long live Wave, whether Google backs it up or not :-)
