The aim is to dig up old standards and how they apply to Web 2.0 technologies, including wikis, waves, blogs, source code repositories etc.

Update: there seems to be some problems even for those who have a wave account to load the wave. Not sure why that is happening. I’m using the Madoqua robot; should I be using something else?

Update: this technology is long gone, and I replaced the whitespace with displaying the underlying HTML as a code block:

<div id="wave1" style="width: 500px; height: 420px;"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
  var wave = new WavePanel('https://wave.google.com/wave/');
  wave.setUIConfig('white', 'black', 'Arial', '13px');
  wave.loadWave('googlewave.com!w+2gYDmL7eA');
  wave.init(document.getElementById('wave1'));
</script>

Next Monday, I’ll decide.

Hi all,

unless you have not read any news in the last two days, you will have seen that Google is rolling out a second batch of Google Wave accounts… I have one invite for someone who wants to co-develop the CDKitty robot, which adds CDK-based functionality to Google Wave…

The code is at: https://github.com/egonw/cdkitty

If you are interested in the account, please email me offline with:

  • how you think you can contribute to the robot
  • why you want to do that
  • how much time you will have for it

The position is open to anyway, and consider your email an application to the position :) (and, if you are a student, we could even try to arrange Uppsala University credit points, if you can work 20 weeks full time on it).

Egon ```

BTW, existing Google Wave users can invite the robot by adding chemdevelkit@appspot.com.

Yesterday was a travel day, and while working on course material for the Pharmaceutical Bioinformatics course that uses Bioclipse, I set up an Eclipse environment for development of a wave robot. Documentation was very clear, and deployment on Appspot one click on the appropriate button. Great work from the people from Google! It was all so easy, I could not resist pushing things a bit further, and looked carefully at other robots, like ChemSpidey by Cameron and Igor by Euan, to see how text replacement is done, and wrote my first functional robot, CDKitty (chemdevelkit@appspot.com):

It seems that it is a policy that wave robot names end with -y, so CDKitty sounded somewhat appropriate. Anyways, the robot is not overly functional yet, but it has a profile (which took some extra googling) and one function mwOf. Add the robot to your wave and prefix a molecular formula with mwOf:, and CDKitty will calculate the molecular formula on the fly. Clearly, this opens up a whole new application world for the CDK, and you can leave feature requests at the issue tracker of the project home at GitHub. Patches are most welcome too! :)

BTW, it seems I messed up the regular expression, which seems not to be including the last digit (filed as issue 1).

Almost forgot to add that: many thanx to Cameron for the insightful discussions we had over applecider, Weisse and German dinner on Monday evening!

It’s the end of Google Docs, and likely many other services. It’s going to be Open Source and being a Wave Provider will not be restricted to Google. This will be enough to make this a success. If you haven’t watched the full video demo yet, please have a look yourself:

I left some thoughts and notes on FriendFeed, but they got lost.
