Our CTO, Tim Knip can't get enough of it, he writes:

Also busy with a Groove Tool which retrieves messages from POP-boxes and publishes subject and body as a RSS-newsfeed. Hehe: I'm now subscribed to my email-account's newsfeed in Radio Userland. The tool can also send email to your favourite smtp-server. Mmmm, yet another way to publish Groove content? Thanks Jon Udell for inspiration.  


Encouraging news for 3rd party Groove developers: an official reaction from David Scult, VP of Groove Networks on some of the questions asked by Ashok in the Groove Forums. Thanks !

We plan on implementing a phased approach that will in the longer term allow authorized partners to resell Groove with value added solutions. Initially, we plan on working with you via phone so you can purchase Groove seats on behalf of your customers. You will then be able to provide to provide your customers with an invoice, and be able provision (distribute product activation keys) Groove seats to customers. More process details will follow in the upcoming weeks. With your input and assistance, we believe this change meets your needs to provide your customers a more postive experience. This includes local representation by you, as well as the convenience of receiving just one invoice for their purchases of Groove software and your solutions.

Now, let me address our Thin Client strategy. Within the next few weeks, you (Partners) will receive information about our Thin client strategy. This strategy is part of a much broader strategic initiative to provide a SOAP interface to Groove Shared Spaces for devices other than "full Groove Clients." Many of you have some general awareness about this strategy which is currently codenamed "Groove Edge Services". This initiative will allows users to gain programmatic access to Groove data from browsers, PDA's and other non-WinTel platforms.
