Google Wave: How to create a new wave and make it public.
Creating a new wave and making it public is easy, but not exactly intuitive at least for the first few days.
To start a new wave, click "New Wave".
A message box will appear in the right Panel. Type the name for your new wave in the message box. (You can also type in some content, but so far, for no particular reason, I have been leaving the title as its own message box). Click Done.
In order to make the wave public, you will need to add either easypublic@appspot.com or public@a.gwave.com to your contacts.
So, first look down to the lower portion of the left panel, and click the + button beside Manage Contacts.
Add easypublic@appspot.com, click submit. The advantage with easypublic seems to be that it will remain in your contact list. public@a.gwave seems to drift in and out (one of those early beta bugs).
Now look back at your new wave in the right panel. Click the + button to add participants. Click on easypublic@appspot.com; and that's it, your wave is now public and can be viewed by anyone, anywhere with a google wave account.
