I work at a Manufacture of high end sports products.
We have our website/shopping cart, Product information pages, We also have a blog, flickr, facebook extra.

We also have printed instruction documents.
Wave would be have the power when a change is made for the product info, It could also change the FAQ, Instruction pages, manuals, and other information listed on the site.

Using Wave may also reduce duplication of content like images, The same image file could be used on the site and the blog and even a photo gallery.

Also from emails with customers You can simply drag there question to the FAQ with your answer and have it available to future users.

1.) What does your workgroup do or make?

We are 3 people starting a company that promotes artists. We are in the brainstorming phase.

2.) What software tools does your workgroup currently use to collaborate?

Currently just our brains and google apps.

3.) Why would Wave make that collaboration easier?

We constantly email each other, use google chat and share google docs to pass ideas back and forth. It would be great to just wrap that all in to a wave document!

Our team of agile developers need a google wave invite so that we can pair-program with undo!

Currently, the only open-source, cross-platform pair-programming solution is gobby and sobby, which are almost OK except they don’t support UNDO, which makes the risk of losing work very high.

Additionally, the current solution we’re using does not use native platform shortcuts for things, and we lose project velocity and get distracted by the “gotchas” involved with gobby.

We are really desperate for a better pair-programming solution, and Google wave seems to be exactly what we need.

Truly, every day we don’t have google wave, is another day we’re losing productivity because of the tools we have available.

I am like “tech geek” except I work in a large k-12 school district. We are so large that our district can barely keep up with the demands of email. We really need a collaborative tool like Google Wave to streamline communication.

I would like to try an experiment with my friends, in which we will try to write a book. We have group of programmers, art science students and one archeologist so book would have more beginnings of book that would be related with different science or art areas. We will try to give short stories. We will then try to add more ideas to each other stories. We will then try to merge stories. We will rethink process when(if) we get “Wave”.

PS. Main character in our mutated art-piece will have name Gina Trapani.
Now this would be enough lying for one Wave account.

I would like to use it and experiment with its value and possible contributions for college students, as I am. I am a CS major and would like to explore how it can add to the college experience.

I would use it for managing an filmmaking project: a web series development I’ve been working on for some time. It would be amazing to be able to gather the team and be able to work on it throught Wave.
