Hi jhouk- Sorry for delay in response -- there was a mistake in the protocol doc. The createWavelet operation actually creates a new wavelet inside a new wave. I have updated the doc.
You would be able to accomplish that using the new API. - pamela On Sun, Jan 17, 2010 at 3:49 AM, jhouk <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Pamela, > > Thanks for mentioning this again--I had missed it the first time it > was announced.
