What might E-Mail look like if it were invented by… Linus Torvalds… the OSS-Community… the XMPP-Guys… or any company without central servers within their buisness plan? To me Google Wave is not much more than an IMAP-Server with integrated CSV-Log and a nice GUI. If you remember Linux Torvalds talk on the GIT at Google Talk (or better its rant against Google sourcecode management) you will be sure, that E-Mail invented by Linux would at least be as decentralized like the GIT or XMPP. Therefore Google Wave might be a very big hype but neither a technological break-through nor a great vision on the future of communicatiuon and collaboration.
