    No doubt the Google Wave is much better then other online collaboration tools. We use it about three years. And GW will be read only from January 2012.
    Apache wave doesn’t develop fast enough. it lacks the developers. And we could not rely for apache wave.
    We are developing new online service rizzoma.com based on wave ideas and new technologies (shareJS for operational Transformation couchDB for data and NodaJS as server and of course we used a lot of GW moduls). Alpha version already works, but we need developers too.

    Wow, I really did not know that there were so many Google Wave Alternatives. Great list man

  • Although the alts here are credible – They are apps, and cannot be compared to Wave. Wave is actually a protocol. What is perceived in general is the Google Wave app, as *Google Wave* itself.

    Good Collection. Catchy-but incorrect title.
