I think that any move to a well built open source product is very
progressive for our community.
Not sure if you have the time for this at the moment, I know that I am
snowed under with work so I am only just getting enough time to do a
little work on the current site.

I watched the video and I like the concept. I am sure there are many
alternatives out there, including Google's open source Wave server
based on the XMPP protocol.
Having said that, we can't just stop ranting. If you/we want to setup
a system like this then analysis has to be done to determine the best
product as well as resources and time put into setting it up.

If you want to setup a demonstration server I am sure there will be
people interested in trying it out for a time to evaluate the benefit
to the community.
