It seems this is a better (and confirmed) source: http://etherpad.com/ep/blog/posts/google-acquires-appjet

Oh no! My company totally depends on Etherpad to conduct phone screens. I'm not sure Google Wave is going to work as a replacement.

That said, congrats! Etherpad is an excellent product.

I wouldn't worry. The article says that EtherPad share's some features with Wave but the main interest in their technology might be the ability to operate behind firewalls(?). EtherPad's text editing features will probably (hopefully) get rolled into Google Doc's text editor.

A syntax highlighting Wave code editing app would be hot.
