Yeh they do lack quality but i think it will be a slow process and soon when Google launch wave extensions directly and roll out to public .. the quality will improve! Great post!

I think many of the extensions that have been built have come out of hack-a-thons. I am a member of the GTUG and see 2-3 extensions every hack-a-thon. Thus, you get an unfinished product. The ones that are being built by developers are, I think, just place holder extensions while they wait for something more from Google. I think this year in the second half will be an exciting time for Google Wave as we should have a more stable and updated release. Also, we should get something ref direction at I/O 2010. Are you going to I/O 2010? I have my ticket, I will be there. Would be nice to get together. Daniel,

I think you make a good point too about how for some of these apps you have to be a real tech savvy user and jump through a bunch of hoops to use a gadget. I realize by default Google Wave tends to appeal to the more tech savvy user, but if Google Wave is to be used as a helpful tool for any type of user, the ease of using a app needs to be upped a bit. I'd almost like to see a favorites list within wave for gadgets remembering their URLs and all that.. that way you can add it in just a click. I’ve definitely felt this as well.
