Anyone else on all this?
Surely MeR team has been seriously assessing it & not immediately
dismissing on ideological grounds?
(stuff around governance isn't even completely defined yet anyway)

I don't consider their move with Mir good, but if they attempt to make

If that will be true, things can turn out good for Wayland as well.

So no one else concerned about this? Where do you think the
community can go from here?
Can Sailfish Alliance (or someone else) really beat Canonical
to the punch w/a Wayland based smartphone (or similar
form-factor) next yr?*
I have my worries/concerns/doubts....
*And with a Wayland implementation that's _fully_ competitive
with Mir?

Phoronix has been covering it all heavily, a recent article

Would really love to hear them...

This is pretty big: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MirSpec
I thought Canonical were "basically" just using
tweaked Cyanogenmod + libhybris + a QML shell on
top (boring/non-innovative).
But it appears they're moving more & more towards
their own complete OS stack (much more akin to
Sailfish)...
I really hope they intend to work with
Wayland/Weston, & perhaps even merge (where
practical) efforts longer-term into one truly F/OSS
project.
But I have my doubts/concerns... If they do,
MeR/Nemo/Sailfish could stand to benefit a lot, &
conversely so could Canonical.
Cheers,
Nath
