Google Wave Cancelled: Is This the End Of The First Ever Tidal Wave?

Some of you may know that Google has discontinued the Wave project. There may be some confusion on my plans to keep this site afloat. There is good news however.  As Google is a pro-open-source company the truth is that although Google Wave is lost the Tidal Wave experiment is not.
Google has in fact posted the source files as a free download and open source product for developers. I will in fact be able to do much more with the site. I have downloaded the source and will be implementing widgets and other items as I experiment with the source. There will be a tab for members that allows you to view applications under development. As work progresses the website will become much more interactive.
If you are not a member you can join on the sidebar of the blog. At this point I have only just downloaded the source and it will be months before major features take effect. I highly suggest that you subscribe if you are interested in the project. If you have any ideas send me an email entitled [yourName]"Tidal Wave Idea" i.e. Bob Tidal Wave Idea.  I will send emails to members about the progress on the site.
