Draft Protocol Spec (Google Wave Federation Protocol):
Google Wave is built on top of XMPP which is the core protocol of the Jabber Instant Messaging.
"Waves are a new medium for communication that could be described as a new form of multi-user document. Conceptually, waves do not exist themselves, instead being made up of a set of one or more wavelets which in turn contain one or more documents. A wave is visualised to participants primarily through display of its root conversation wavelet, which is discovered through convention (wavelet of ID '~conversation/root'). Users become notified of wavelets by being added as participants, ala being invited to edit and participate in a multi-user document. It is also worth noting that wavelets have create-on-use semantics, and as such, users must create a new wave by adding themselves to its (currently non-existant) root wavelet."
