I watched and was greatly impressed by the video demo of Google's new 
Wave collaborative communication system.  I believe it would/will help 
with some of the chronic problems we (and others) have.  Someone already 
added a click-on Yes/No/Maybe client-side widget (for group outings) 
that tabulates on the wave who made each vote, with votes changeable.
