I've tried to explain what Google Wave is without going into complexities of API's and extensions. A "Wave" is like a very dynamic wiki page that you can send to someone. Multiple people can post comments to the Wave, very much like the chat room, or edit already posted comments or content like the wiki. You can also embed waves in your blog or photo album. While simple Waves look like chat rooms, but more advanced Waves could become collaborative gaming software like chess, sudoku etc.
