We just had a meeting here in Cambridge (UK) yesterday about the future of academic networks and, aside from the usual academic response to build our own weaker versions of apps, the consensus at the end was basically something very like Google Waves.

This is especially true as the academic, and even the cultural, sector will want their own wave servers.
