EtherPad Sends Their Users An Invitation to Join Google Wave
Just got this in my mailbox:
Interesting. This comes one day after they Open Sourced their codebase.Dear EtherPad User,
AppJet Inc., the company behind EtherPad, has been acquired by Google. The EtherPad development team will continue its work on real-time collaboration by joining the Google Wave team. As an EtherPad user, we thought you might be interested in trying out the preview of Google Wave. Like EtherPad, Google Wave lets you collaborate on rich text in really real-time. It also does a bunch of useful things that EtherPad does not do, such as organizing your waves in an inbox. Although Google Wave is only in a preview phase, we think you might still find it useful. Click the following link to get started with Google Wave: ( includes a link to join up ) Hope to see you on Google Wave soon, - The (former) EtherPad Team
Some people will not be too happy about this.
I just hope that Wave will get some of EtherPad’s ease of use.
Dries.
