Okay, since nobody checked in, here’s what’s up. I’m going to send PMs down the list to see if they’re still interested, and I’ll try my damnedest to go in order. Also, these invites aren’t instantaneous, for some reason. You’ll get the official invite a week or so after I nominate you. For some reason, there’s a little lag time on Google’s side. ---

I sent PMs to (I think) the first 10 people waiting. If they don’t have any interest, it gets passed further down the line. ---

Does it take a while for it to “take?” LOUNE said he sent the invitation this morning and I’ve received no confirmation so far. ---

He said it would take about a week for google to send it to you. ---

I got an invite! Not sure if it’s from one of you or from having signed up for it ages ago, it doesn’t come with a name attached. But I’m in. Now, where do I join the Dopewave? ---

It does take a week or more. Not like the gmail invites which went right away. The person who nominated me for wave told me to look for it, a full week or more before it landed in my inbox. And I don’t yet have any to give out. Hopefully soon… ---
