Google Wave is now available under maine.edu

kerry — Fri, 21 May 2010 14:56:14 +0000

Google recently added Google Wave to Google Apps and we have enabled it for the maine.edu domain.

Google Wave is an experimental real-time communication and collaboration tool. You can find details at Google Wave.

Since this is a Google Labs application, it does not receive the same level of support as other Google applications:

Support is avaliable only through the Google Wave Help Center and Help Forum
There is no guarantee as to the future (if any) of Google Wave.

You can access Google Wave at http://wave.maine.edu
