    I'm not impatient, but I hope they ship this by June 2014. By that time, they would be where Apple was with Quartz a decade ago. I forgive them, Linux's main money is in servers, not the couple of nerds who run it on their desktops at home. Still, Red Hat thinks its important to push Wayland through.

      And then how to agree on what version to use.

      Then you can break it without causing insurmountable problems.
      there's versioning in the protocol so that they can do just that, but I don't think its their first choice of tactic
      All opinions are my own not those of my employer if you know who they are.

        Gnome is well under way towards supporting Wayland. Last I checked, most of the standard applications were working, and most of those that weren't were waiting on components like WebKit. No idea about the Shell, but I seem to recall that they were aiming to have a minimally working desktop (i.e not release-ready) by the end of this year.
