I have another amazing guest author to thank for this article. He is Twitter’s resident Google Wave Jedi Master and you can follow him on Twitter at @wavejedimaster. He is on the wave almost 24/7 and he communicates first hand with Google executives about the Wave.
He describes himself as a pro-waver and he graciously takes time out of his schedule to help others on the Wave or on Twitter. You can also find him on his own Wave at:

If you are one of those that just arrived to Google Wave it is quite possible that you feel a little lost about what is going on and how things work.
To help you find your way here is a list of 5 Waves you shouldn’t miss:
1. Wave HelpDesk: This is a Wave made by the community, for the community, with the objective of helping users that have questions or that need to know something that they can’t figure out for themselves. The more experienced users are there and will always try to help. Don’t forget to say “Thank you!” ;-)
