One X.org developer started Wayland and some (but not all) others joined.
In any case, i wasn't referring to X.org developers - i explicitly mentioned that they do not want to maintain it anymore.
I was referring to those who want to see it continue existing in one way or another.
- sergeykish 6y agoAh, I red "fork" as in ffmpeg-libav case, it is not what you meant, I would say "contribute". I am too surprised by critique. Anyone can contribute to X.Org [1], maybe there are no stable releases but it works, have active contributors [2] and recent commits [3] [4]. Wayland lives, ten years ago it was demo, now it has a lot of compositors [5], wlroots shared among many projects.

- badsectoracula 6y agoYes but contributing without having proper releases that distros can grab and distribute doesn't help much.
