What do you mean with that? Google is going with head ache definitions and PM’s videos. They just have to explain clearly what’s the use of Wave is to average people.

Revolutions only work when people are really think that existing solution REALLY, can’t deliver anymore. Whether in politics, IT or any other thing.
Google should have planned an evolution from the main protocol: email. They could have built wave as an extension to gmail. When you recipients are gmail users the emails are party of a wave. When users are outside gmail, pop and smtp would be used. And of course only release the features one by one (just stuff and keep the fluff like live editing for later)
It’s just the addict game.
Once gmail users begin to see the benefit of (or get addicted to) waves over mail. They start pushing their networks into gmail. Then other email providers will get interest in the technology and you’ll begin to see them implementing waves to avoid loosing market share.

May be that’s what they are trying to do with google buzz. I hope that it’s not too late for them.
