Hi Pamela, Like I said, the first release (Version 1.0) was coded pretty slack, which is why it isn't in the repository yet. I am currently cleaning it up and soon (next 1-2 days) it will be put into the repository.
And I am surprised that you don't know how I did this, its a relatively simple Idea in principal, however I found was much harder to do in code. My application is relatively basic. On any web browser open up Google Wave and then view its source, Google Wave builds the User Interface after it loads the main page, which is why you can't see the User Interface Code (Unless you are using Google Chrome and use the Inspector on the User Interface). However, when Google Wave Finishes loading the page before creating the GUI the source of the page contains an Array of your Waves (Not in 100% entirety, like not all the Blips will have all of their text written in the source of the page) but there is an extremely sufficient amount there to Gather your Waves, their ID's, Title, Creator etc... After Gathering that information (Which I have not entirely perfected yet) I display the Waves for the user in the Programs Notify Icon Menu along with each ones Total Messages and Unread Messages. This is pretty slack and was just a simple innovative way of doing what nobody else (and to my surprise eluded the Google Staff) could do. I am going to continually release newer, more effective versions of this application. And if the Google Wave team does release an API for what I have done then I will update my application to use that API. - I realized this solution at the beginning of August when I gained access to the Developers Sandbox. My original plan was to create a Google Chrome extension which used this method to display Unread messages. (I have made an extension like this for Hotmail). I had started but unfortunately I had not completely mastered reading the HTML Source and then when my laptop got stolen that project got scrapped. I have to say, being 17 and to out smart people much smarter than me and people who work for Google and deal with making Google Wave I am pretty surprised. If I lived close the the Wave Hackathon instead of living in New Zealand I probably would have made this there and then. -- I hope this enlightens you. And is explained well. The Source for the project should be put up on Google Code within 24 hrs of this message.
