By request on the wayland-devel mailing list, we could start collecting
useful writings here.

However, this is not meant to be a substitute to proper documentation,
though I understand it may very well become one. Better than nothing, I
guess, and hopefully helps in writing real documentation.

Feel free to add stuff.

Weston

Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, and a
useful compositor in its own right.  Weston has various backends that
lets it run on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input as well as
under X11.  Weston ships with a few example clients, from simple
clients that demonstrate certain aspects of the protocol to more
complete clients and a simplistic toolkit.  There is also a quite
capable terminal emulator (weston-terminal) and an toy/example desktop
shell.  Finally, weston also provides integration with the Xorg server
and can pull X clients into the Wayland desktop and act as a X window
manager.

Refer to http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html for buiding
weston and its dependencies.
