I'm talking about technology, not UX.

And bittorrent is an example of something that was done technically and socially right so it's still alive and isn't going anywhere.

So - how does one make a p2p FOSS messenger that people will use. Skype is proprietary, but the closest thing to success in recent history (not counting IRC with XDCC, amateur radio, light signals and pigeons).
