If you set up a git repository for libtouchpad, I will help with the code there. OTOH I don't yet agree with the use of wl_touch as the output of such library. In the wl_touch documentation, touchscreens are mentioned, not touchpads. With touchpads, people often talk about moving the pointer, hovering, clicking and scrolling (even though scrolling is a gesture), and that fits better under wl_pointer. -- Alexander E.
