I used it to generate a shit ton of policy documents in a hurry.
The company I was at was being staged to be purchased. We had Jack shit for policy documents. The company that was organizing our sale said they needed a wide range of formalized documentation.
I basically set my entire team up on wave. I threw up outlines in different threads and we all just went to fucking town writing policy. We would peer review, make suggestions on each other's policy read over stuff while we worked on our own things.
It really was an amazing product.
All that collaboration stuff was integrated into Google Docs.
It's so good that Microsoft copied it - first with the web version of Word in live.com and then eventually into the desktop version of Word.
I agree though - Wave was ahead of its time.
