<h2>Wayland</h2>

<p>Wayland is intended as a simpler replacement for X, easier to develop
and maintain.  GNOME and KDE are expected to be ported to it.</p>

<p>Wayland is a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as
well as a C library implementation of that protocol.  The compositor
can be a standalone display server running on Linux kernel modesetting
and evdev input devices, an X application, or a wayland client itself.
The clients can be traditional applications, X servers (rootless or
fullscreen) or other display servers.</p>

<p>Part of the Wayland project is also the Weston reference
implementation of a Wayland compositor.  Weston can run as an X client
or under Linux KMS and ships with a few demo clients.  The Weston
compositor is a minimal and fast compositor and is suitable for many
embedded and mobile use cases.  </p>
