Will everything in GNOME be forwards compatible with Wayland <i>without</i> using an X session within Wayland? I didn't think that was going to happen. Therefore we should start over with a clean base that's useful both to those with and without multitouch, and then figure out how to get all the gnome and kde apps to run.<br>

I hadn't actually seen uTouch before, looks interesting. However I think the difference is that (for now) it seems to be an adaption to use some multitouch features on a standard gnome/unity/whatever desktop.<br>

What I'm thinking about is a different UI designed around multitouch, something like this: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWz1KbknIZk&t=4m42s" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?<u></u>v=zWz1KbknIZk&t=4m42s</a> <<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWz1KbknIZk&t=4m42s" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?<u></u>v=zWz1KbknIZk&t=4m42s</a>> perhaps (I don't like their approach, but you get the idea...). Features from <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jhoWsHwU7w" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?<u></u>v=6jhoWsHwU7w</a> might be interesting as well.<div class="im">

At the moment, I think it may be more worthwhile to write something new for Wayland, and avoid dealing with the headaches of placing this on top of something that wasn't designed with this type of interaction in mind. If you think this a compiz plugin would be a workable solution, I'll have another look at that approach, it'd probably be easier to implement.<br>
<br>
Any news on my original questions? And another one: are the most up to date docs available on wayland the ones found in the git repository?<br>

I see, but the goal should really be to make one of the default desktops more touch friendly, don't you think?<br>
