Development Discussion Board

Indeed, the magic is in the protocols. I suspect that Wave is being shutdown as a separate product, and the protocol will be integrated in other things in the future.

Dog Cow: The wave client "Google Wave" is their product, so yes, of course they have their own server. But GWFP is a completely open protocol, not a product or a service.

But honestly, even if the idea is a little abstract, the tech isn't that new. XMPP has been around for a while, has no one ...

Before I jump into my ideas for phpbb4, note that there are many, many people and web services ...

theres 9 in the "fix in progress" category. about 117 total

bugs.phpbb.com

^indeed!
