I encourage you to visit the Wave itself as they have a good back and forth going on ref a lot of the rules listed here. I agree with your comment about how the shorter blips will encourage people to collaborate.

You and Daniel are right, this list may or may not work depending on the Wave you building. I don’t think the builders of these rules intend them to be an all or nothing. You can pick and choose what fits your particular Wave.

I like this list. While I was reading this, I kept thinking that these rules will definitely depend on the type of wave that you’re creating. Daniel mentioned this as well. I think the more you organize your wave into shorter blips it will encourage people to collaborate and add their thoughts especially since there is no way to add a blip mid-ways through a wave.

I really like the idea of having thise rules. They make a lot of sense to use for contributers, if you know how to organize the content in the most sutible patters.
The ideas stated is just one group of peoples ideas, so you might need to make up you own rules based on the above rules in your organisation.
