Remote display for Wayland

by Jeremy Kemp for X.Org Foundation

In order for Wayland to replace X.org it will need to be able to run remote clients like X.org can. The proposed project will pair a proxy compositing server with the client, a psudeo-client with the real compositing server, and enable communication over a network between the psuedo-client and proxy compositor. This will allow normal Wayland clients to be run remotely.
