I'd like to get my hands dirty on the code of this. I'm offering some development assistance. If you don't have one already, i can host a git project for this.

the OP hasn't posted on this thread for 7 months so it doesn't look hopeful that this will see the light of say IMO

I would hope someone is still working on this. I am not a programmer, but have people that can do the coding if need be.

I have contacted the OP. He is busy studying (you should probably be too!) but he is willing to share and help with the code. But the prerequisite here, since the code is based on the SkypeKit SDK, seems to be that it is only handed over to someone who has access to that SDK (or at least it would be useless without it). The code communicating with skype is hardcoded into the (somewhat outdated) xbmc guts, but is skinnable.
Now the issue is that Skype doesnt seem to be granting acess to the SkypeKit SDK anymore.. OP got the access in two days, me and others have been waiting for weeks and weeks. So this is where the fun stops.
The moral of the story is....use open protocols!

Any news on the status of this development? I 'd love to be able to make skype calls on my tv. Especially the fact that the video/music can automatically pauze when there is an incomming call
