From: Aldric Giacomoni on 16 Nov 2009 09:51 Google Wave is, according to Google, "the new email". It combines email, their idea of working together on same documents, and versioning control. It has lots of potential. I playfully created a simple class for playing cards and decks and invited a few people to it, figuring we could reinvent git (because I bet we can outsmart Linus, you know?) or at least toy around. Then, someone asked if this was the spot for the new Ruby Quiz, and I got this idea.. Instead of several people working separately on a small problem, why don't we have several people working together on a slightly bigger problem? My toy class for cards and decks could become a complete software for playing cards online, complete with games, their own sets of rules, etc etc.. But if we wait for me to code all this, it'll be a while! If, instead, everyone pools in a bit, we can go much farther, much faster. That's only one example of a "bigger problem" .. Maybe we just want to implement a specific encryption algorithm, or something similar, or create an important gem (like a gem to unrar, or something). I'm clearly not reinventing anything - but maybe we can test the Wave's potential for this. What do you think? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

With Google Wave, we can do a 'quiz' with teamwork - so we can practice teamwork. That's the basic idea, anyway :) If you're on google wave, here's what we had going so far: https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:search:TOC,restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252BPCdSv1t-y.1 I say 'had' because I haven't seen anyone logged in in a while :) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
