Hi Pamela, Thanks for mentioning this again--I had missed it the first time it was announced. Can you go into a little more detail how we would use a robot RPC in the new wire protocol to create new waves? The closest thing I can find is the robot.createWavelet() API, but the description of that API states that the wavelets are created "within the robot's current wave" and the WaveID is one of the wavelet parameters (that we presumably wouldn't have a value for yet if we're trying to create a new wave).
There seem to be a lot of developers, my team included, who would love to use Wave embedded in our sites, but many of us will need to be able to create new waves programmatically for this to work. Is robot.createWavelet() how we would do this, or should we be looking at another API? For example, suppose I was building a Forum tool that used embedded waves instead of traditional, slow forum mechanisms to share posts. When a user clicked "New topic" on my site, if I was using Wave, my backend code would need some way to create a brand new wave from Wave to embed in the new topic. The robot RPC seems like a good mechanism to do this, but I don't see actual support for this sort of task in the new API. Does that make sense?
