You may have heard about it. Maybe you recently received an invitation to participate. You’ll be hearing more. The Complete Guide to Google Wave is a collaborative user manual for Google Wave written and edited by Gina Trapani with Adam Pash. Launched one month after the Google Wave preview release, this guide is the most current, comprehensive, independent user resource for the most ambitious (and confusing) web application ever created. According to Gina and Adam,
“Google Wave is a new online communications tool that enables groups of people to edit and discuss documents simultaneously on the web.

The initial Wave experience can feel chaotic and confusing, but use cases for Wave abound. Come on in and meet Wave”
