"poke it and see how it wobbles" first. make a wayland client app "from scratch with no toolkit other than libwayland-client to talk to a compositor". get pixels on screen. update them. (maybe got for a shm client so you have a bit more of a raw idea). then once you can get content... handle input (kbd/mouse/whatever) and respond. keep going. add features. explore more and more of protocol features (you'll figure this out by this point). you will at some point get comfortable with how wayland works as a protocol. a lot f the people if not most who work on wayland have spent YEARS working with things like x11 (and have their likes and hates) and thus have a lot of experience. if you are fresh to all of this (you haven't written toolkits or window managers/compositors in x11) you have little experience to build on i guess and so should build some. when you get to the above point you should begin to have some todo-items magically on your own. most of the "todo items" now get driven by specific app/compositor or "desktop env" needs. most projects are still getting to having a complete solid wayland implementation (compositor and client side in toolkits) and are busy restoring functionality they had under x11 before. > Thank you > > Cheers, > Rohit > > On Oct 27, 2016 5:30 PM, <wayland-devel-requ...@lists.freedesktop.org> > wrote: > > Send wayland-devel mailing list submissions to > wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > wayland-devel-requ...@lists.freedesktop.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > wayland-devel-ow...@lists.freedesktop.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of wayland-devel digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > >1.

Hello!
I am Rohit, a student at Vishnu Institute of Technology. I am interested in the Wayland project and would like to contribute. I can write code in C, Python. My GitHub profile: https://github.com/iamrohit7/ Can anyone please help me get started? I tried searching for beginner/easy bugs which most other projects have but couldn't find any.
