Google Wave

This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

Please use this group to discuss the implications Googles new product, Wave, will have on drupal.

How to add a Google Wave to a local Drupal website

Posted by Kipp Elliott Watson on July 23, 2009 at 1:06am

1. Create a google wave after you have accessed your sandbox.

2. While the google wave is active, select Debug>Get current Wave ID.

3. A small window should pop up, displaying a Wave ID. Copy the value that is displayed to your clipboard. You'll have to highlight the value before a copy command becomes available.

4. Create a new content type in a fresh Drupal installation and call it "Google Wave". The machine name can be googlewave. Put in whatever description you like.

5. At Home > Create content in the local Drupal website, select the new content type "Google Wave".

Google Wave Drupal mashup module testing

Posted by Kipp Elliott Watson on July 21, 2009 at 9:55pm

I am at liberty to dispense access to Google Wave Developer's Sandbox to one developer for the purpose of collaborative testing. I prefer to provide this access to someone who is not contractually bound to any employer to create code for the sole benefit of the employer. I will be at the Northern NJ Drupal Group meeting in Ramsey this Thursday evening. If interested in this sandbox access and collaborative testing, please discuss your interest with me at this meeting.

Has anyone been invited to Google's Wave Sandbox?

I too am waiting for access to Google's Wave Sandbox. I have not heard if anyone has gotten this access yet. Have you?

Google Wave development brainstorm

Posted by tamasd on July 11, 2009 at 11:09am

Hi,

I got an access to a community wave server (my request is still pending to the Google's one), and my exam period is over, so I have plenty of time to play with my Drupal projects.

I started thinking about the wave module, and I don't really know what can be the best way to integrate it with Drupal. The simple embedding does not worth a module, it is just a simple copy-paste to a node body.

My first idea is to use it as a some sort of WYSIWYG editor. What do you think about it? Do you have better ideas? I am open for everything, even for the most craziest ones :)

Twitter, this group, project managment and an introduction

Posted by morpheusathame on July 7, 2009 at 5:14pm

Hi. I am a Drupal webmaster/project manager/user experience specialist, and am VERY interested in integrating Wave into my client projects right out of the gate. I am also waiting on sandbox access, so haven;t had a chance to play yet. I've expressed interest at the Wave module page in helping however I can - testing, UX review, documentation, whatever I can. I think one of the immediate decisions that needs to be clarified for people like me is: when is it appropriate to recommend that we implement a Wave server vs just using a third-party provider? Is it number of sites the client is managing? is it infrastructure-dependent? Is it branding considerations? I'm sure the answers are yes, yes and yes to some degree, but I think it will be instructive to begin work on some best-practice guidelines to help us Drupal folks know the landscape a little better. I am VERY excited about Wave, and can't wait until we have a module to begin messing with. FUN!!

Another thing - I've started a DrupalWave Twitter account for us to use. I know it's not convenient for long posts but maybe just some of the more announcement-type stuff and smaller issues could be addressed there. I expect that I'm hardly the best candidate for inside information and the latest scoops -- I just want to make sure that we have a voice out there in Twitterland and to contribute any way I can. Having issued that last caveat,

CMS Integration & Google Wave

Posted by typehost on June 29, 2009 at 5:00am

I am primarily a Drupal developer, looking into integration of Drupal and other open source CMS platforms with Google Wave. Basically I am interested in the Wave as a content type similar to a blog, users would have the option to create wave posts on the Drupal site, other users comment, add media, robots, widgets, etc. to the wave.

First opensource wave server

blockquote>
PyGoWave is the first Waver server. This is the first open wave server that can be used for everybody. PyGoWave server is in a very early stage (alpha-02 version) and only has a few implementations. We recommend to follow this server and their news on Google Groups, their Blog and onthetopofthewave. We will follow that server and we will post any news. They have a roadmap to know what improvements will be added in the next versions, you can take a look here.

First thoughts on Drupal/Google wave relationship?

Posted by samuel lampa on June 9, 2009 at 11:54pm

I suppose it is quite clear, after watching the developer preview that, as far as one can imagine, Google wave (or better: the algorithms, architecture and formats behind it) will be of huge importance for the future of Internet. Google wave itself will of course be discussed a lot elsewhere (Maybe someone can start another thread for that if needed), but turning to the implications for Drupal:
