I think, it's too early to think about mainstream adoption. With luck, what they will be able to do by the end of the summer is build version 0.01 of core social network codebase and gain enough interest from open source developers for the project to keep rolling. With luck, over time the project will develop to the point that real social networks for casual people will be built upon it. With luck, those will gain traction. These guys want to build Linux 0.01, you want "Linux On The Desktop". Not saying it is implausible, just quite different stages of product development.
