I got an invite to test out wave in the sandbox. Its very good but the main thing I have to say is it has a very steep learning curve. You can use it (kinda) just like an email but thats not the only functionality that wave has. The collaboration between people on the wave is the main idea. I think that would be the most useful for me personally because I do a lot on mailing lists and that could be done in a much easier way using wave I think.
Like for brainstorming an idea, an example would be the ayatana mailing list. I think that would be an excellent candidate for using wave. They could have a collaborative discussion, polls, embed pictures and videos of their ideas, this would make the discussion a lot more creative I think.
Then for ubuntu-docs for the docs team they can put whatever document (system docs and wiki pages…etc) they are working on in a wave and invite a few more people to help in the drafting which would help a lot.
Its all in the preview video on http://wave.google.com/ Its still not perfect yet but the bugs are only small ones.
I like it though and I have checked the network usage in system monitor and its not too bad. I look forward to using it full time because its very impressive.
Oh ive already got rickrolled in a wave

I’m still waitung for an invite (both user and developer request).
Did you attend Google I/O? If not, you seem to be one of the first users, who got access without attending.
I hope they send me an invite soon…

Would you mind if I asked you for an invite respectfully, should you get one available?
Thanks in advance
Nope i wasnt at I/O so I must have been one of the first to get added
Well that’s a good sign! Maybe they’re going to be sending out a huge batch of invites today!
Or I could be wrong….
Well id say they want to let the developers in first thats why I got one I think.
I guess that makes sense. I signed up as a user and bug reporter.
Google can only give out invites sorry. You have to wait for them to send you out one.
