This sounds entirely plausible to me, On how Google Wave surprisingly changed my life:
I use google wave every single day. I start off the day by checking gmail. Then I look at a few news sites to see if anything of interest happened. Then I open google wave: because that's where my business lives. That's how I run a complicated network of collaborators, make hundreds of decisions every day and organise the various sites that made me $14.000 in december.
I can see Google Wave as useful for project management. But for non-professional contexts I guess I like chopping up functionality a bit more.

I am very undecided on Google Wave. As I personally move more and more towards data/text and away from the containers (I've composed a total of two documents in a word processor over the last year, but I've created hundreds of documents), I see Google Wave as GUI coming to my text editor. And I don't like it.
On the other hand, if it is supposed to be like a wiki but without all the stupid wiki stuff, that might be good.

I recently tried http://www.showdocument.com - good app for uploading documents and working on them in real-time.

I think Google Wave offers some nice advantages in collaboration, but to be 100% honest I have yet to find a practical purposes to use it for my magazine. If I start working with Europe on a consistent basis then it may start to be more practical from a business standpoint.
