How does Google Wave help the WMF achieve its goals?
Not sure, it doesn't really exist yet. I'm sure there will be numerous ways
in which it can do it, though.
Wikipedia has already become a dominant information source

If Waves works anything like email, then it will be possible to use it when
not directly connected to the Internet. How's that for helping get
Wikipedia to people without Internet access?
Not very. Waves, like email, should work for people with
Hoi,
Wave in its reference implementation relies on HTML 5. This means that it
requires a modern browser. With a browser it is possible to access data that

Now my understanding is that the protocol for interserver communication
isn't completed, and who knows it may be vaporware. But it's an intriguing

Much of the Wave functionality demonstrated is superior to what is
available in MediaWiki. Consider a LAN with OPLC systems, consider a Wave
server on the school server.. It would be pretty damn good to be able to

That's a pretty important question. If not being an internet user just
means that you have internet at the library and not in your home, the method

Wave might replace parts of MediaWiki but it would not replace Wikipedia...
To appreciate this, you have to realise what it is the WMF stands for.. It
