It's built ontop of XMPP (and a variety of other things), but the first thing that occured to a colleague and me is that it's remarkably similar to org-mode, except focused explicitly around communication and collaboration.... blurring the line between I/M, email and semi-structured data. Google Wave is largely vapourware and product demo at the moment, but it seems like a great fit for org-mode. I could imagine an org-mode extension that would present waves as org-mode files; restrict editing to only your messages (trees), and allow easy pushing/pulling/refiling of data between native org-mode files and waves. It doesn't require a lot of imagination to see how org-mode could become not only the most powerful note-taker/productivity app, but also the most powerful and extensible wave client and messaging tool available! Has anyone else had any thoughts on this? In some ways it seems similar to what some people on this list are trying to do when collaborating on org-mode files. R.
