+1 Also please keep in mind, if WaveWatchers would be used as official channel, the requirement is that PMC members (all of them) have access to the page and can dictate its content. At the moment both communities are complementary but not merged. Maybe in future this will change, but for now it's better to keep both channels separate. Of course WaveWatchers can spread news from the Apache Wave channels and vice versa.
