Can the wallet binaries be configured to ship with basic config having the right nodes so users dont have to mess with it?
+1, it would help increase user adoption (as for source code, an example config could be added too, as mastercoin did).
This coin has a large trade volume considering it's not even a couple of weeks old, the dev's need to concentrate on getting the other bits in place and the price will increase substantially.
Better yet: increase the size of the team. Make a public call for designers, coder, user experience (UX) specialist... I am sure you'd find more than one person willing to help.
