There are more than 20,000 requests submitted via Google Wave Sandbox Request Form.

Google Wave team announced today, they have started activating these requests. They expect to finish activating all 20,000 requests within the next month.

This is an amazing development – the developers from PyGoWave Dev Team couldn’t wait until Google releases their reference server implementation, so they built their own!

In the article How to get an invitation to Google Wave? I wrote in this context: There is still a very long way to go and it is also hard to say if these guys will be willing to open their server to other people.

PyGo Wave Server brings two good news:

1) The server is here
2) It is open for everybody

So, you don’t need to wait for Google Wave invitation! Go to Pygo Wave server and get your account now! And there is more – grab the code and run your own Wave server!

The stage of PyGo Wave Server

The server is in the alpha-0.2 version today. So, there is a way to go – there is no client at this moment, you can’t add robots etc. It means that a regular user who has seen the Google Wave Video, will not be satisfied now. But I am sure that any developer will be eager to test the PyGo Wave Server and even test his own gadgets there.

Go to PyGo Wave Server

You can find the PyGo Wave Server home page here. Be sure to check author’s thoughts about architecture before you jump in.

Also don’t miss their roadmap and official blog

This or similar questions are very popular now – a lot of people watched the Google Wave video and they are desperate to get the acceess to the Google Wave Sandbox.

Here is the way how to get a Google Invitation »

How it works

This text has been written on June 12 and a lot of things changed since then.

First of all – don’t spam any forum or Twitter with the messages like this: I’d love to try Google Wave. Could you please send me an invite?

Why?
Because there is no way how you can get it. Users will be alowed to the system in 3 steps:

  • Step 1 – The Google I/O attendees. This step is over and they should be in.
  • Step 2 – The developers who are interested in Google Wave. THE ONLY WAY, how they can ask for the access to the Sandbox is this form. The big question is – how fast they will be allowed in? Check the next chapter for the answer.
  • Step 3 – Anybody else should use this form and wait for several months.

The Bad News for Developers

Many developers filled the form described in our Step 2 and now they ask: How long?

Stephanie (who is a member of Google Wave Team) wrote this tweet:

The words weeks out till ramp past io are the core of the bad news – the Google I/O attendees are in, the rest of developers have to wait for several weeks. The members of the Google Wave team repeated the same message here.

Is there another way?

Yes, there is. But it is not sure if it will be a faster one or not.

The Google Wave is built as open system and there is the Google Wave Federation Protocol. It means “…anyone can build a wave server and interoperate, much like anyone can run their own SMTP server…”.

We are in touch with the developers who are working hard to start their own Wave servers.

There is still a very long way to go and it is also hard to say if these guys will be willing to open their server to other people.

Anyway, this possibility is here, we will watch any development in this area and we will let you know immediately!
