>> Wayland 1.0 doesn't mark the point that Wayland is complete and ready to replace the X11 Server as there's still a lot of work left to do but it marks the point at which there is API/protocol stability in terms of all future releases being backwards-compatible with the Wayland 1.0 release.

Whoever wrote that abomination of a sentence needs to go back to school and learn English again.

  Mind you if they keep up with the kick-arse-- volunteer --coding then they are ok with me.

  It could use a couple of commas, but it's hardly an abomination.

  I conjecture that someone named Kristian Høgsberg (and perhaps his project associates) may not be a native speaker of English. Here on the intertubes, it's easy to condemn someone for poor usage, however, remember that communicating complex ideas in a second (or sometimes third, or fourth) language is not always the easiest thing to do. Not everyone grew up soaking in it. This is not an excuse for poor English - but is certainly a legitimate defense against condescending fucktards such as yourself.

    That sentence is from the Phoronix article, not Kristian's announcement, which is quite fluent (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2012-October/005967.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2012-Oct...). Phoronix writing is always like that.

      Indeed. Phoronix survives only because Michael Larabel is basically the only person willing to sift through the graphics mailing lists and provide summaries. The writing is always atrocious and Larabel frequently makes serious mistakes in his reporting. Every time there's a benchmark the forum is filled with the same complaints; VSync, testing games that use different GL versions between drivers, etc. Michael has dedication but not much else. If someone was interested, there is some real low-hanging fruit in that niche.
