Introduction
Funtoo is a user driven distribution. Most active users used only X and Wayland support was left unattended for some time Wayland support has not been made a priority. This situation has made Funtoo a distribution less than ideal for Wayland users, which created chicken and egg problem: Funtoo doesn't fully support Wayland because not many people use Wayland on Funtoo; and not many people use Wayland on Funtoo because it's not fully supported.
The first step towards breaking this cycle is to gather the users who would like to see Wayland fully supported on Funtoo and start a coordinated effort towards making that a reality. This project is not only about bringing a minimal level support to Funtoo. It's about bringing and maintaining the best support available in any Linux distribution.
