I've been rather busy these last few weeks, but still intend to summarise at some point.
In the interim, I've used a combination of an export to Google Docs tool & Wordle to create Wordles of the discussions we've had in wave. They're in the relevant waves, or you can see them all at Picasa
I've asked Sylvia if there's a similar tool to allow me to dump complete discussions from Moodle into a document that I can then dump to Wordle.
Edited to add:
I've just tried with the RSS feed for the whole of this discussion, but I think that it's only showing the most recent x posts.

Thanks to everyone for participating - sharing tools, and ideas, and, most importantly playing in the waves.
Early next week, I intend to try to collate useful posts / URLs / etc to a single document.
So, what do you want to see in that document? I've started a wave ... but for those that prefer Moodle - use this forum ... and I'll try to combine.
(Unless, of course, you'd rather do a wiki - in which case - start and share .. but guess we need to limit ourselves a little - or the information's going to be even more thinly distributed!)
Yes, I'd also heard that Etherpad had been taken over by Google, but had then somewhat lost track of what was happening to it.
LIke Colby, I'm really impressed with the rich image you've just invoked with your metaphors, Therese.
Just as I was reading this, a student came into my office to ask about his MSc project; one of the ideas he's had is to look at collaborative tools for learning.
I asked him if he'd used Google wave and, like many of us said at the outset, his view was that he'd had a go, but didn't get it; so gave up.
I'm now wondering if I could create a project for him to start to look at how these waves could be gathered together. So many synergies!
