Upayavira, Regarding your question, does it stand for the project/community vision? I have worked on decouple server and client code from GWT one and it seems it hasn't attracted attention.
If the mentor must represent the community, then it must have clear idea of project's aim and next steps. 2015-03-20 20:07 GMT+01:00 Upayavira <u...@odoko.co.uk>: > I think your last question is the most important one - is there someone > here prepared to be a mentor, according to the terms specified by > Google? > > If you have read the recent archives of Wave, you’ll see that there > hasn’t been much activity here. > > My question is, could Roshan, working on Wave, resolve some of the > technical issues that the project has that prevent it from gaining > additional developers?
