Status of Google Wave

crosspost from the official Wave help directory.

As Google announced in August 2010, Google is not continuing active development of Google Wave as a stand-alone product, but has been working hard on the open source Wave in a box project and on making waves accessible through Google Docs.

Google lets you know that it will keep wave.google.com running past December 31, 2010 until a suitable replacement to host all your waves is available. In the meantime, you can now use the export feature to download a zipped version of up to ten waves at a time.

Additionally, Wave in a Box, the project to make it easy for anyone to host their own wave server, has made significant progress on both functionality and community growth. Just last week, the Apache Software Foundation accepted Wave into its incubator for new projects.

Thanks yet again to all our users for giving Wave a try with your schools, businesses and organizations and to the developers who are working on the next steps for the open source project!
