Google Wave, the multimedia collaboration and conversation tool, will be opened to about 100,000 users starting September 30th. Participants will be drawn from those who sign up and agree to report bugs.
Google Wave, announced in early June, is intended to permit new forms of computer-enabled communications.
Rather than communication taking place only by e-mail, instant message, or exchange of files, a "wave" aggregates ongoing conversation in multiple formats into what has been called a "true multi-user distributed online version-controlled collaboration ."
So far, the Google Wave team has distributed around 6,000 developer accounts and are fielding a further 20,000 requests from developers.
But the team is getting ready for a much wider test, involving about 100,000 users.
A post on the Google Wave Developer Blog reads, "we will invite groups of users from the hundreds of thousands who offered to help report bugs when they signed up on wave.google.com."
The form for getting notified when Google Wave is available is here .
Check the box to promise you'll report bugs and give feedback, and you could be one of the lucky thousands who get to see what a "wave" really is in practice.
