Hello,
I tryed to rephrase the index.html to be more acurate. I used Wayland,
LibWayland and Weston as wording just because they are my favorite, but it
does not match the name of repository.
Note also that I'm not navite english speaker/writer, thus my vocabulary, my
syntax and my grammatical skills are limited (just in case it is not
obvious ;) )
Best regards

<h2>Wayland</h2>
-<p>Wayland is intended as a simpler replacement for X, easier to develop
-and maintain. GNOME and KDE are expected to be ported to it.</p>
-
-<p>Wayland is a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as
-well as a C library implementation of that protocol. The compositor
-can be a standalone display server running on Linux kernel modesetting
-and evdev input devices, an X application, or a wayland client itself.
-The clients can be traditional applications, X servers (rootless or
-fullscreen) or other display servers.</p>
-
-<p>Part of the Wayland project is also the Weston reference
-implementation of a Wayland compositor. Weston can run as an X client
-or under Linux KMS and ships with a few demo clients. The Weston
-compositor is a minimal and fast compositor and is suitable for many
-embedded and mobile use cases. </p>
+<p>Wayland project is intended to replace X11 protocol. The aim is to
+provide a protocol that is easier to use, that improve weakness of
+the legacy X11 protocol and that is faster. GNOME and KDE are
+expected to implement those protocol in there own server. The
+Wayland project is focused on 3 components : Wayland, LibWayland
+and Weston.</p>
+
+<p>Wayland is a protocol for sharing screens and inputs devices
+between concurents clients. The Wayland protocol define the way a
+server talk to a its clients and how each client can talk to the
+server. The server is reponsible to setup screens, inputs devices
+and make the final images that the user see on screens. The server
+is usualy called compositor.</p>
+
+<p>LibWayland is a reference library that implement the Wayland
+protocol, this library is intend to help developers to implements
+compositors and clients. This library is splited on 2 distinct
+parts, the server side library and the client side library.</p>
+
+<p>Weston is a reference compositor that use LibWayland to talk
+with its clients, he can run under Linux KMS as standalone
+compositor or can run as X client. In the later case, Weston
+create a virtual screens that is drawn in X window and create
+virtual inputs devices taken from the X server similarly to Xnest
+ot Xephyr. Weston also include few proof-of-concept clients like
+flower or the wayland terminal.</p>
