It will take a looong time to become as useful as Campfire because all of the hooks/apps for it that already exist. Opensource is nice but Holla needs some kind of passion-creating feature/vision that would attract a decent community of contributors.

#38Earlier quoted context omitted.
To their defense, that demo did look very much like a clone of Campfire.
It was a freaking chat room!
