Is someone else working on this problem? What is bad about it that it needs the entire ecosystem of apps, toolkits to adapt to a new protocol/API etc. ? Remember that moving an entire ecosystem is a mammoth job of getting buy-in from a critical mass of players - you cannot force it on them. The fact that Wayland has gotten to where it is now is quite an amazing job in this regard. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com _______________________________________________ wayland-devel mailing list wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel
