XMonad Development Team Seeks Developer for Wayland Port
By

A respectable bake. You'd come back tomorrow for another.
Summary
The XMonad development team (Tomáš, Tony, Yecine, and the author) has been collecting financial contributions for two years to fund a port of the XMonad window manager to Wayland. They now have sufficient monthly funding to pay someone for this work but are struggling to find a qualified developer. They mention an existing project that is outdated and buggy, using an old version of wlroots.
