re: Google Wave, repeat after me "beta! beta! beta!" I made the mistake of assuming the reliability of a Google beta product (Groups, still beta, still not reliably delivering 100% of the Wiscon mailing lists.)
so I strongly recommend not modifying your principal Gmail contacts. Instead, create a second Gmail account just to wave around in — use your invite if you must. Then export all contacts from your j.a.l. account as "Google CSV." Sign out of that one and sign in to your tester account, and then import the file you've just created. Voila!
