If doc team accepts this contribution, it will go into the tree forever, so the log and message must be helpful to the people who will be sifting and searching through it. Please squash everything into one commit with a specific title like: |
Wayland is a communication protocol that can replace a display server such as Xorg. It differs from Xorg in several important ways. | ||
|
||
First, Wayland is only a protocol that acts as an intermediary between clients using a mechanism which removes the dependency on an X server. | ||
Xorg includes both the X11 protocol, used to run remote displays, and the X server, used to accept connections and display windows. | ||
Under Wayland, the compositor or window manager provides the display server instead of a traditional X server. | ||
Since Wayland is not an X server, traditional X screen connections will need to utilize other methods such as VNC or RDP for remote desktop management. | ||
Second, Wayland can manage composite communications between clients and a compositor as a separate entity which does not need to support the X protocols. |

Oops, that didn't work. What I was suggesting is to revert proposed changes to the README entirely.
The current state of the PR damages the tree by changing the blame for line 9.
EDIT: and please don't credit me, I absolutely did not coauthor any of this.
