What is Miriway?
Miriway is a starting point for creating a Wayland based desktop environment using Mir.
At the core of Miriway is miriway-shell, a Mir based Wayland compositor that provides:
A "floating windows" window managament policy; Support for Wayland (and via Xwayland) X11 applications; Dynamic workspaces; Additional Wayland support for "shell components" such as panels and docs; and, Configurable shortcuts for launching standard apps such as launcher and terminal emulator. In addition to miriway-shell, Miriway has:
A "terminal emulator finder" script miriway-terminal, that works with most terminal emulators; A launch script miriway to simplify starting Miriway; A default configuration file miriway-shell.config; and, A greeter configuration miriway.desktop so Miriway can be selected at login Miriway has been tested with shell components from several desktop environments and there are notes on enabling these in miriway-shell.config.
