For the upcoming GNOME 3.14 release, new Wayland functionality includes support for keyboard layouts, working drag-and-drop support, and support for touch input. There's also more GNOME applications that are running on Wayland without any dependence on XWayland or hacks.
GNOME developers are trying to make Wayland day-to-day usable but there's still a few applications that need some help (e.g. Totem) and there's still some crashes to be worked out with the Wayland session. Matthias Clasen shared this information on his blog.
Clasen also pointed out a Red Hat job posting that is looking for a senior software engineer for their Westford office to focus on the Wayland graphics system and other desktop technologies.
