I would find it very helpful if data on new chat sessions in a Campfire room linked to a Basecamp project would show up automatically in the Basecamp project:

1. Main link in “Messages” – Just a couple of lines giving date, time, topic & participants of campfire chat with an active link through to that particular chat session in Campfire.

2. Files posted in the chat to show up in “Files” on Basecamp (and like with messages have a link to the chat session underneat in the listing), and for consistency to show on Overview also as when files are posted with Messages. In fact with files, I’d prefer they could be removed from Campfire (where space is limited) and stored in Basecamp (where they belong anyway when they are for a project).

And ideally, there’d be the same facility as in Basecamp messages to mark a chat session as “private” ... ie: available to members of your own company in the project, but not clients (slightly less slick, but workable would be to have mutliple chat rooms associated with one basecamp project, and to be able to mark each one as private if required).
