I would love to try out Google Wave, but do not have anyone to "wave" with... Unfortunately, I cannot send out invitations myself.
Is there anyone else who would like to take this for a test drive?

I've had it for about a week now, but haven't got around to actually using it.
I've handed out a few invites to some of my in-house colleagues. Just to be generous as I can't imagine us having much to discuss outside in-house work. And my son refuses to use his invite...
I'm not sure how much I'll actually end up using it. I loved the presentation so I signed up for the beta, but I'm not really that keen on "clouding" and I feel that's a major part of Wave. I used Google docs when I studied recently as I had to do project work together with fellow students based in Sweden, but generally I have concerns about privacy issues when it comes to leaving my "property" on a cloud (although my major in-house company seems perfectly happy to use a cloud environment for sensitive client information).
Without having had a chance to properly check out the usefulness of Wave, my feeling is that it's most useful in a cloud environment.

We could perhaps give it a try together?
I have already told my main customer about this, as it would make a difference communicating with all their PMs. He has told me they would look into it and would consider using it. In the mean time, I would love to try it, even just for the sake of it.

Thank you Madeleine for the invite. I have you in my contacts.
Tomás, I tried to add you but the email you sent me is not a Google Wave email (according to GW). Edit: Nevermind, I can see you now. How did you manage to use a non-Google email for Google Wave?

I watched the entire 1 1/2 hour video demo today and was mightily impressed. Wish I had more time to mess around with this, but at least I'll give it a try and see how it goes. I guess I have to wait now until they send me an invite, or whatever.

I have been looking for a Google Wave invite myself. Would anyone perhaps have one to offer?

But I didn't figure out how to invite others yet, or I will give you an invitation Dan.

I have received a wave from Google that I do have some invitations to give out, after all... Therefore, if you are interested, send me a message.
Please note that I have reserved some for my friends, so they might be all gone rather quickly!

| | What about confidentiality? | Nov 8 |
I've read some of the Wave Guide through the link included in this thread and it sounds interesting and, indeed, fascinating. So much new vocabulary for a non-tecchie like me - bots, blips, heaven knows what ...
It occurs to me that most of us translators are bound by confidentiality agreements, aren't we?
Wouldn't "waving" about a document we're working on be a severe breach of confidentiality?
Regards,
Jenny

I suppose that if the PM manages the wave then he/she accepts the fact that there is a communication between the collaborators (although branching off to a "private" wave might be seen as disturbingly easy!). When they are not aware of that then of course it is a breach of contract - just as it is with mailing, instant messaging or blogging... nothing new here.
