It's been a busy week for Valve Linux graphics software engineer Mike Blumenkrantz. Besides hacking on Mesa's Zink OpenGL-on-Vulkan driver implementation, this week his latest target was working to help accelerate the pace of Wayland protocol development. He's been working through a few proposals like addressing NACK usage for how Wayland protocols can be rejected and in ending out the week he has drafted some additional workflow improvements.

Rounding out his Wayland ideas for the week, Mike Blumekrantz has proposed workflow improvements for Wayland Protocols to help avoid situations of new protocols becoming "stuck" in development. Among his latest ideas are on handling tie-breaking votes, automatic promotion of staging protocols to stable, and handling of protocols from non-Wayland-Protocols members.

Those curious for all the details can see this Wayland Protocols merge request and this blog post by Blumenkrantz outlining his latest ideas.
