We’ve all heard that Google is abandoning development of Google Wave. From what I know of my developer friends, however, it made a decent remote office co-development collaboration tool. Will Google do the Right Thing and give it to us in Open Source form?
Doh. This is not long enough for a blog post. Too long for a tweet. I should edit.

I promise I'm relevant 
they really already have, though it was without big announcements. as always, there are pieces that remain without our reach – but only the pieces people liked the least, like the HTML5 interface. The federationOne server as a reference implementation is open source (google code project “wave-protocol”), and the APIs are documented with example libraries. it all comes with a basic, command-line example interface. devs can take this and run with it.
Here are a few links I didn’t have handy,
http://www.waveprotocol.org/
http://code.google.com/p/wave-protocol/
http://code.google.com/apis/wave/wavedata/
And finally, installation instructions: http://code.google.com/p/wave-protocol/wiki/Installation
I plan to setup my own test server soon. I really wanted to use the mutt-like console client they snuck into the I/O presentation.
