I wish to 'engineer' the google wave and try it for my blog/website ? Is it possible to tinker with the source code of Google Wave ? Where is it available ?

Has anyone done something like this ?

A: 

Google Wave's source code isn't open source, AFAIK.

A: 

Search the Google API for that.

I believe you can incorporate the wave on your site.

You can extend and embed Google Wave using the Google Wave APIs; however, Google Wave, itself, is a Google Web Toolkit application, and its source code is not available to the general public, AFAIK.

Okay ! ..... I meant exactly that .... it doesn't bother me much if it is not open sourced ..... as long as I can tailor it to my requirements !

Google wave has not been open sourced. You can check the OS code offerd by Google here: http://code.google.com/opensource/

@Remo.D : Wikipedia says that it is open sourced, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_wave#Open_source

Unfortunately this is not what Google says. The only trace of Wave is the "Google Wave Federation Protocol" (http://code.google.com/p/wave-protocol/).

The Google Wave API is available from Google Labs.

As noted, you probably want to embed a wave in your blog, not copy the whole source.

However, if you want to set up your own wave service, you can do that, too. Wave is, in fact, an open protocol to encourage widespread adoption. They hope to get us all off this email thing, God bless 'em.
