Hello gentleman,
Wayland is now in version 1.0.4[1]. I plan to move it to community to
offer a first support of the wayland protocol into Archlinux.
This will allow toolkit[2][3] packages to smoothly enable wayland
support when maintainers wants and let users try this
next-to-systemd-troll[4].
After Wayland I would add the demo compositor Weston to our community
repositories. To do this we needs to:
- enable wayland support into mesa ;
- enable wayland support into cairo.
If the both maintainers agreed to add support, we need to find a
gentle developper which can move wayland to extra[5].
Cheers,

[4] I'm already existed by arch-general be closed again
[5] Mesa and cairo are in extra and cannot depends of Wayland in community
