Compositor/Window Manager for Multitouch

[Josh Leverette]

Will everything in GNOME be forwards compatible with Wayland *without* 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.
