I can't say I agree with Andy Chesters - Google announced the open source, open standard nature of Wave right back when the project itself was made public at Google I/O 2009: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/went-walkabout-brought-back-google-wave.html No desire to "to hide the fact that the technology is not exclusive to Google" that I can see. I'm also not convinced that the performance issues with the Wave beta are mainly (or even slightly) due to the fact that all the current Wave servers are running in Google's data centres. Surely the spread of Wave servers to the far corners of the Internet will make things worse, as bandwidths fall and latency rises between the servers participating in a given Wave? Waves with participants who all use the same server might see a performance increase I guess, all other things being equal. S - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
