Importing Documents into Google Wave
Jason Harrop has developed a robot that does a good job of importing documents into Google Wave. The robot supports MS Word documents, in both .docx and .doc formats. And it now is able to import Open Office text documents (.odt/.sxw). The process of importing is relatively straightforward. First, add docxwave@appspot.com to your contacts. Then create a new wave and add the robot as a participant. A File Upload form should appear in response. Jason says, "If the form doesn't appear, try removing the robot from the wave and re-adding it." Follow the instructions that are in the File Upload form, and the document you have uploaded should appear in the wave. Jason's waves are: HOWTO import a Microsoft Office Word document and HOWTO import an OpenOffice Text document . Here is a wave I made, into which I imported a demonstration .docx file from Jason, using his robot: Demonstration of Importing a Document .

Great stuff, Tim. I can see how this can be applied for business and educational use.
