You have support from community dev, the things that have been said round here and slack should be taken in consideration
I am currently working with a graphic designer in order to develop a GUI wallet concept. If you have any suggestions on how the wallet features has to be arranged, please comment.
I like the look of Tox (
https://tox.im/) and since it is open source maybe you can just build off of it and save a lot of development time.
On the other hand, maybe if the GUI looked like an old push-button telephone it would be more intuitive for non-tech users. I think you want to make it as obvious to use as possible for people. Personally, I find Skype very difficult to work with.
