So how does this work then?  I remember that GMail started on an
invite-only basis, but once you got a GMail account you could invite
others.  Is Wave not the same?


Not yet, no. I'm sure it might turn into that, but of course the plan
is for Wave to be open sourced so it's less of an issue if everyone
can set up their own wave instance on their own network.

Really? That sounds a bit un-google-like. I would expect it to be web-only.

I think the interface is web only - so you can run your own versions in house. I must confess I'm getting very suspicious of Google but it could be interesting to see what this does. Probably nothing new - it might be a bit like Chrome OS which does nothing new but sidesteps the standards issues MS and others have laid in our way and sell Google.
