Are there any plans for eventually adopting Wayland over X?

I'm not aware of any discussions.

If I understand correctly, we won't have to make a decision either way, we can just add support for Wayland to the various parts of the stack as it becomes available, and people can chose for themselves. That said, most toolkits and window managers are not yet ready for Wayland, so at the moment it is not much point in doing this (unless you are helping with testing/development).

Hey Tom-

I would be happy to do testing for wayland, and development (although I am lacking time..). Is there some other devs interested in it? I think we need to start with some tracking down toolkits and WM that require some work.

Cheers L.

Sure you can do testing for Wayland, there is even an AUR package for it [1]. There is also a wiki page, which you edit and add documentation [2]. 1. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30350 2. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wayland -- Jelle van der Waa
