Question

I wish to 'engineer' the google wave and try it for my blog/website ? Is it possible to tinker with the source code of Google Wave ? Where is it available ?

Has anyone done something like this ?

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can extend and embed Google Wave using the Google Wave APIs; however, Google Wave, itself, is a Google Web Toolkit application, and its source code is not available to the general public, AFAIK.

OTHER TIPS

As noted, you probably want to embed a wave in your blog, not copy the whole source.

However, if you want to set up your own wave service, you can do that, too. Wave is, in fact, an open protocol to encourage widespread adoption. They hope to get us all off this email thing, God bless 'em.

Google wave has not been open sourced. You can check the OS code offerd by Google here: http://code.google.com/opensource/

The Google Wave API is available from Google Labs.

I believe it is open source, available through the "wave-protocol" link. In fact, here is a walkthrough of the codebase: http://www.waveprotocol.org/code/wave-model-code-walk

There is an open-source implementation of the Wave Gadget API you can use with other sites; it uses Node.js:

Google Wave's source code isn't open source, AFAIK.

Search the Google API for that.

I believe you can incorporate the wave on your site.

The Google Wave protocol is here :

http://www.waveprotocol.org/code

And now it is being moved to Apache :
