[orca-list] Tox Messenger, it's a FOSS replacement for Skype; I have questions.

Hi,

I recently discovered the Tox Messenger project.
https://tox.im/
Tox aims to be a free, open-source replacement for Skype, offering text 
messaging, voip with optional video, and peer-to-peer, encrypted 
sessions.  Is anyone using this?  I'd like to add some contacts.  I 
believe the standard client has a QT5 gui. I found a gtk client called 
Venom; it's in the Arch User Repository as venom-git.  There are very 
few options to configure, unless most of the preferences pane is 
invisible?  There seems to be user account setup; ids are 
machine-generated. There is a user setup page, on which you put your 
human-recognizable name and status message.  If you want to add me, the 
tox id is:
