Google Wave API design principles: Anatomy of a great extension

Wave - Pamela Fox, Michael Goderbauer (Hasso Plattner Institute)

Google Wave is all about collaboration, and the most successful extensions are user-friendly and collaborative. Wave robots should be as intuitive to communicate with as a human, and play well with other robots; Wave gadgets should extend the metaphors of the textual collaboration into the visual. In this talk, we'll discuss the design and privacy principles you should consider while building extensions, and show examples of extensions that demonstrate these principles.
