I actually didn't think about this as being competition to Wave. The current implementation is much more narrowly scoped, but the grand generic document store vision does bear a resemblance. I don't know how far down that road the project will go. I don't want to lose mail client functionality for the sake of being as generic as Wave (I haven't seen any information on the subject, but I assume the translation to/from email is lossy). _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list sup-talk@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
