let’s hope so
i know it is still early since google wave isnt ‘out’ yet but when i first saw the wave demo i thought that would be cool for comments/forums in wordpress.
wondering if anyone has heard anything about a plugin that can handle that?
truthfully i’m not privy to sandbox so i don’t know its complete functionality or capability but theoretically it seems possible…
