Questions:

0. How important is simplicity (modularity) to the project?

1. Will Tox work for user "idontrungentoo"? Will it compile on Solaris, BSD, etc.

2. Will the GUI be optional? If not, why is it mandatory?

3. Can Tox work without DHT? What if two users just want to call each other without connecting to tens, hundreds or thousands of strangers? If there are problems with the DHT, are they SOL?

It would be good to have competing teams all working on some similar system (a Skype alternative) and then have an open bake off, instead of just idle criticism in forums like this one. This way we could see which system actually works the best instead of just theorizing about design choices and taking random anecdotes from alleged users in forums on faith.

from the github repo:

0: it's a lib, and there are at least 2 client being developed (ncurse and qt)

1: it currently compile on linux/os x/window

2: see 0.

3: no, but you could potentially host a "private" boostrap node and have a separate network.
