GNU Taler requires exchanges in order to function, and hasn't had any so far. What exchange now exists for use in Switzerland? Is it Taler Operations AG?

It depends on wire transfers to move money into and out of a Taler wallet. Wire transfer fees are typically around 30 USD. That's not practical for most people's needs, even if covering batches of transactions. Are there plans to support a less expensive means of funds transfer?
