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.

Okay, understandable - same for me with the Design Team and its topics, I love to work with / on. [...] 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. Well, I think I trust Florian's comment that this might not be as urgent as other things (I'm still delaying the FOSDEM talk preparation, grrr). But since you asked whether the phone conference system is the single one, I thought it might be helpful for the website guys.
