By request on the wayland-devel mailing list, we could start collecting useful writings here. However, this is not meant to be a substitute to proper documentation, though I understand it may very well become one. Better than nothing, I guess, and hopefully helps in writing real documentation. Feel free to add stuff. Signed-off-by: Pekka Paalanen <ppaalanen@gmail.com>
Weston Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, and a useful compositor in its own right. Weston has various backends that lets it run on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input as well as under X11. Weston ships with a few example clients, from simple clients that demonstrate certain aspects of the protocol to more complete clients and a simplistic toolkit. There is also a quite capable terminal emulator (weston-terminal) and an toy/example desktop shell. Finally, weston also provides integration with the Xorg server and can pull X clients into the Wayland desktop and act as a X window manager. Refer to http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html for buiding weston and its dependencies.
