Hi, we in the desktop team would like to make the final push towards Wayland in F24 and for that we need as much test coverage and user feedback in F23 as possible. We're planning to backport the latest Wayland support to F23 so that users don't have to run Rawhide and we cooperate with the Fedora QA team to provide users with tutorials how to debug Wayland issues and write useful reports.
I'd like to write an article about it for Fedora Magazine to reach as many users as possible. Do you think it'd be a good fit for the Magazine?

I would like to encourage more public testing here, especially since the alternative is a lot of complaints at F24 release we could have seen and handled in advance. So I'm +1 for this article. It should include:
* Screenshots showing how to change the session to Wayland * Pointer to tutorials Jiří mentions on how to debug and report issues * Reminder about how to switch back in the event of a disaster :-)

This gets a +1 from me as well for the same reasons mentioned above. Also, it definitely can't hurt to have a pointer article on the Community Blog referring to the Magazine when the draft is published - I definitely think this is something of interest to the contributor community.

I've uploaded the first draft of the article. It's saved as a draft in FM Wordpress. Can anyone please review it?
Thank you, Jiri

Hi Jiří, I saw the draft and I'll be editing it today/tomorrow for publishing early next week. I'll make sure we include it in our schedule discussion at tonight's editorial meeting.
