Hi! Google Wave is very interesting, but not yet very widespread. I think Wave can be a good tool for openEHR.
Could you please make sure that the OpenEHR-related wave-discussions of public interest get copied to a more common and search-engine freindly format too as soon as possible. (There are Google Wave robots/bots that can be added to a wave in order to automatically copy the wave content to e.g. blog format.) Otherwise you are again moving conversations from public searceable space to restricted private space, just like with discussions moved from open searchable wikis/mailinglists to the CKM. That is a very bad thing for an open project. Many people start problem solving by a using a search engine, so the discussions need to be publicly available for reading without login. Currently you get good openEHR search engine results from the specifications, mailing list archives, wiki and openEHR web, but most likely not from CKM or wave.
