Good lord, Google Wave is just a nice little collaborative tool not  
the horrific detritus discussed by some. I think it may work great to  
generate meeting topics, agendas, minutes, and similar things that  
often take dozens email messages back and forth. But it needs to be  
experimented with before it's rejected outright.
