seasons greetings to all.

i have a question that has been rather bugging me as of late.

does anyone know how one can create a google wave clone using php/mysql/jquery as primary points of development.

any ideas on how this might be possible and recommend any starting points?

i have some time off work and it would be an interesting project to undertake as i want to use it in an e-learning framework next year. i will be testing the product on a XAMPP local server.

i understand some of the technologies that google wave using but i am rather curious as to how these can be developed to a decent standard using php/mysql/jquery (i mention these three because i am quite adept at them).

any links to resources best suited to an intermediate programmer would be appreciated. many thanks and God bless.

so far i have this:
