It's not, by any means, X11 or 'X12', but just a tiny display server.
It can, however, use X.org's server for Xlib software and client-server computing.
QT and GTK+ are using Xlib, so they must be ported over to Wayland in order to run without the X.org server, which is what is happening now.
Wayland, due to being tiny and clean, is great for embedded devices, which MeeGo targets.
So basically Wayland is the BusyBox equivalent of X.org.

so.. its great news, finally something not bloated?
all what i need is fast response, no redrawing, no flicker, no "cool stuff" like compiz, just be able to work with very low resource consumption and allows to run drivers and fullscreen programs flawless.
someone knows when it will be ready to use? even beta ?

Wayland will rely heavily on the GPU, which is a good thing, just like Compiz is.
