You may already be aware of it but there is a very basic virtual
keyboard already included in the Weston project:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/tree/clients/keyboard.c

Maybe this could serve as an example at least.

Other than the maliit project I am not sure there exists one.
SailfishOS seems to be using the maliit project for their
implementation of a virtual keyboard. I am not sure their
implementation is Open Source though.
