No, not really - most current Wave users have Preview accounts, not Developer Sandbox ones.

There's one more step beyond federation that will be sure to get people using Wave, and that's an extension that allows waves and standard email protocols to interact.
For example, if the extension wrapped the current version of a wave into an email, highlighting the newest blips, and sent the email out, then a standard email user could read and respond. The same extension could then receive replies and apply responses into the wave.
It still wouldn't work as well as it would if all parties were using wave protocols, but it would allow wave users to ditch email all together. The email users would recognize in the interaction that waves work better.
All that said, I think Google should have used a slightly different convention for wave addresses so people could visually distinguish wave addresses from email addresses.

Anyone has already set up their own Wave server? I have not found one in the sandbox yet.

I have tested the Google Wave and I was really surprised that the whole thing was really boring. I'm not probably the target group of the users, but it just didn't feel much different than your average e-mail software. Maybe also the downside with my tests was that I tested it alone so I couldn't really interact with anyone with the software, which is it's prime function.

This thing is getting ridiculous. Wave is supposed to replace emails...how many accounts are they, how many uses it ?
I changed my plans to updates two schools, a friends developpment business and my organizations with Waves a few weeks ago, this VIP beta open-source + the rumours about a google blacklists according to visits logs has made me change my mind.

It's the first time I hear about Google Wave. What's that about being supposed to replace email? To me it looks more like chat server with lots of toys (which could be very useful) bolted on top.

If you haven't got your hands on an invite yet, we're giving them out every Friday to people that follow us on twitter and RT our google wave tweet. http://twitter.com/collegeslackers
Best of luck!

anyone has any idea why google doesn't give away new sandbox accounts? i've sent a request more than a week ago - and didn't get any response. although, they've never given me an option to invite new participants on google wave, which is pretty useless if you don't have folks "to wave"...

I started a contest to get my 16 invites, similar to what Gina Triponi did with invites over at smarterware.org. The idea is I don't just give an invite out to any one single person. What happens most of the time is they get on wave and are immediately hearing the crickets chirp because they don't know anybody on GW. I am giving my 16 out to either a group, or smaller groups, of people who have a fantastic idea of how they will use Wave together in a business, small group, church or whatever.
