Thanks Alex, but when will the switch be flicked? i.e. what is the earliest date I might come in to work and see:
"Sorry, this service has been shut down. We hope to provide an export function soon." I know it /probably/ won't be shut down soon, but without a hard guarantee we have to assume the start of Jan 2011. Maybe import/export is nearly ready, but it's hard to tell from the current repository how close it is to working. The task list shows no progress on the wave store (and still talks about MongoDB): https://sites.google.com/a/waveprotocol.org/wave-protocol/code/wave-in-a-box-task-list Cheers, On Nov 30, 2:01 pm, Alex North <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Thomas - don't worry.
