Some people have probably heard of WaveBoard, the application for iPhone and OS X that claims to be a desktop client for wave. However, it’s really just a webkit browser that has some extra triggers for some better desktop integration. But it’s still not a real Wave client. Obviously cause doing so would be insanely hard and since the Client/Server protocol isn’t released, has to be reverse engineered.
So I reverse engineered part of Wave that allows an entire wave to be downloaded and parsed into blips with tree structure.
I’m careful to title this a Wave desktop reader because it only does reading and in the crudest of forms.

I have tried your wordassoc, and I think it’s great demo for many possibilities. Even though google want us to search for anything, but then most people including isn’t “on-par” with google searching :p
What do you think about the idea will an actual tree structure image for project discussions in waves.
Like:
Project A
|
|—————————————– TeamB
| |- Hardware design
- TeamA
|
|
– Software design …
I should have used wordassoc for the example!!

Anyway, simply, each node is a wave, so the tree image would be a great representation for a collection of related waves. And people can find what they want easily.
Right now, I’m working on a way to index waves, so I might try implementing that representation of multiple waves.
