Sandbox:
Waves bound to Google Apps: Suppose domain is infomall.org

3. Google Apps
A service from Google for using custom domain names with several Google products including Gmail, Calendar, Talk, Docs, Wave, etc.
Google hosts services and you provide a domain name
Bind infomall.org to Google Apps

9. Wave Extensions Robot Gadget
Robots are applications which can be added to waves as wave participants.
Automate tasks
Gadget
a shared program which runs within the wave, and to which all participants have access. Improve richness
spell checking,

10. Robot
Gadget
Runs on application servers (currently AppEngine) and interacts with the wave over a protocol.
Runs within the wave client itself.
Robots may modify a wave and perform the same operations as a human participant.
Gadgets are not able to modify a wave, and have limited visibility into the wave.
Each robot may instantiate at most one instance per wave.
Each gadget may have multiple instances per wave, one for each participant interacting with the gadget.
Robots can modify a gadget.
Gadgets have no way to know that a robot exists, and thus are not able to modify a robot.

11. Robots A robot can Deployment Account of robots
read the contents of a wave in which it participates,
modify the wave's contents
add or remove participants
create new messages and new waves ……

Account of robots
Then add a robot to a wave like adding any other participant

14. Other robots elizarobot Igor Chatbot Ask some stupid questions
Igor
a Google Wave robot to manage your references
Whe you type “blah blah blah (cite x) blah” Igor will notice the (cite x), connect to PubMed(or other reference db), search for articles where the title, authors or journal contain x and then pull in the relevant citation.
candidate genes include NRG1 (cite from connotea euanadie)(cite schizophrenia neuregulin) and (cite from pubmed)DISC1 (cite PDE4B evans schizophrenia)
