Am I the only one who's not buying into the Wayland hype? I just want X11 support not to fall into disrepair, as I see nothing wrong with it.

I don’t see much Wayland hype. It’s boring plumbing for most people, isn’t it? Most of us are just going along with whatever the volunteer plumbing community decided to put together.

Are you also willing to maintain it?

    Honestly at this point, I would be willing to pay $10-20 a month just for someone to maintain Xorg and xfree86. I really doubt I am the only one.

      If the XLibre project appears to be making enough fairly-consistent progress for you to be comfortable tossing around some cash, then do gather up some likeminded folks to hire a dev to follow the guidance here [0] and help out!

      Do note that I've never tried to croudfund a programmer, but that's something that I have to believe is possible to do.

    Are you willing to write accessibility support for the new xfce only wayland compositor? How will you get every other wayland compositor to support your non-'wayland core' accessibility extension?

    People like to frame things like the waylands are some sort of default and nothing is being lost and no one is being excluded.
