Drew DeVault has just released a (mostly complete) book on the Wayland display-serverprotocol under the Creative Commons CC-SA license. "This bookwill help you establish a firm understanding of the concepts, design, andimplementation of Wayland, and equip you with the tools to build your ownWayland client and server applications. Over the course of your reading,we'll build a mental model of Wayland and establish the rationale that wentinto its design. Within these pages you should find many 'aha!' moments asthe intuitive design choices of Wayland become clear, which should help tokeep the pages turning."
