I run Wave in a Box - easy to build, configure, and admin. I can think of at least two good use cases for WIAB: a private setup for family use, and a private setup for a companies' work groups. I don't see much value in global large-scale WIAB deployments. However, it seems well tailored for collaboration in small groups.

I'd previously tried WiaB and wasn't able to get it running, but, inspired by your comment, I managed to get it up and running in a single evening. You weren't kidding: it is easy (especially if you figure out early that Google's original WiaB instructions assume you're going to clone it from them instead of from Apache, and update the instructions)...

My impression from the mailing list is that it doesn't have a working persistence system. Is that still the case? I'd love to run WiaB for personal use, but that's a fairly major block for me.

No, WIAB has persistence system, even if the implementation is not finalized and can change.

Ah, there it goes. It took me a while to figure out I had to set all the systems to go to disk.

Edit: I had to kill a unit test to get it to work, testWaveletNotification in org.waveprotocol.box.server.waveserver.WaveServerTest.
