Yeah I guess that's the crux of it really...
I also hope there's _genuine_ & thorough collab/openness, to the

But all that's probably dream land stuff... :-(
I have to pitch in with my point of view here. Firstly - hey to
everyone , it's my first post on the list . I've been on the list for
a long time , because I liked the idea of the Mer project from the
beginning , but I haven't posted , because I didn't have much to
contribute .
I'm watching the Ubuntu project too , but to take part in the events
at hand I can only be in a ambassador-like role . The thing is that
Ubuntu wants to control the whole stack , and from what I've seen/read
that's why there wasn't much of a talk with the Wayland developers
(OR they really thought that their idea was incompatible with Wayland)
. Whatever the ground for their decision was the fact is that
Cannonical isn't a communist government and if enough devs ,affected
by their decision, come together and demand an explanation and to work
out the problem - Cannonical will have to anwser (as we know they are
are least PR-conscious ) .
On the ~"Mir convergence" UDS session after I asked about the lack of
cooperation somebody else (nickname:pixelpapst) asked the Mir devs to
make a list of features that Wayland is lacking and Ubuntu needs .
That list is not going to go live unless there is some pressure
applied from the people interested to get and resolve it . But for
that to happen there must be a communication point (forum/list) where
these people will gather and decide on the actions to be taken
specifically . So if anyone here is interested or has an idea - do
tell :)

Agreed, there needs to be a coordinated approach towards coming to some
kind of resolution... at least in the longer-term.
