Wayland email
Wayland is a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients, as well as a library for clients to talk to a compositor. It is designed to be a more efficient and flexible alternative to X11.
Here is an example of an email that could be sent to the Wayland mailing list:
Subject: [Wayland] Request for feedback on new protocol extension
Dear Wayland community,
I am writing to request feedback on a new protocol extension I am proposing for Wayland. The extension, which I have dubbed "wayland-xyz", aims to provide a new way for clients to communicate with the compositor.
The extension is designed to allow clients to request a specific set of resources from the compositor, such as a certain number of buffers or a specific set of graphics capabilities. This would allow clients to more easily request the resources they need to run, rather than having to negotiate with the compositor for each individual resource.
I have implemented the extension in a patch against the Wayland protocol and would like to get feedback from the community on the design and implementation. I believe that this extension could be useful for a number of use cases, such as:
- Clients that require a specific set of resources to run
- Clients that need to request resources in a specific order
- Clients that need to request resources that are not currently available
I would be happy to hear any feedback or suggestions you may have on the design and implementation of the extension.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards, [Your Name]
