Yes, but each major version is adding or changing API to make it simpler 
to write a compositor. Specifically, libweston 2 has introduced a much 
nicer output API, thanks to Armin’s GSoC work.

I think someone started something, but it’s probably outdated by now.

One advice I’d have to give is to use libweston-desktop, that abstract a 
lot of protocol stuff and just let you manage toplevel surfaces without 
worrying about shell protocols, popups and other boring things like 
that. :-)
