Hi Tim,

An experimental GNOME wayland session is now available in vivid. Its not installed by default, however it would still be good to get some
testing, since at some point we will ship this on a standard install.

Some requirements
- You must be using open source drivers (neither AMD or NVIDIA support wayland yet)
- It is probably recommended to be using systemd init [1], although it may work ok with upstart.
- Some features are not quite 100% complete but upstream claim its stable enough for day-to-day use.

To test install gnome-session-wayland package and then select "GNOME on Wayland" from the gdm login menu.

If you file bugs from a wayland session please tag them with "gnome-wayland" so we can easily track them!

After releasing 14.04.2, I will make sure to publish that on our website and all the other channels.
