My own experience (I was pretty "meh" about it when people were tweeting
"tweet me for an invite to the wave") is that you have to persist, and
learn different habits for each set of collaborators. I suppose I should
approve of it on account of how it improves geek social skills.

If the wave were to result in good documentation about how to *get*
ready that would be an amazingly useful contribution.
