"Google makes its Google Wave Federation Protocol available to let would-be Wave providers build their own Wave servers and get them communicating with other Wave servers, similar to the way e-mail servers talk to one another. This federation would ideally pave the way to making Wave ubiquitous, making it more available for future users. But given the learning curve stumping early users of Wave, how many programmers will want to build their own Wave servers? That remains to be seen."

Although it's a fat chance, I do hope that Wave will eventually completely replace email. It is a superior technology.
It maybe superiour, but sometimes you do just want a simple e-mail. (eg server status reports, website notifications, etc)
Wave, as a concept, is excellent. But in the real world I like to pick my mail up from several locations / devices, forwarm mail on and so forth.
I treat e-mail like a read-only technology and only respond to it when I have the time. So IM functionality is a little pointless for me.
What I'd preferred to have seen was a more integrated wiki-like content management system based around e-mail and google docs.
Something that allows you to have a messageboard forum like self management / user participation but with the layout of a wiki, e-mail integration and content editing tools of google docs.
