Wayland is a computer display server protocol and a library for Linux implementing that protocol.[2]
Wayland provides a method for compositing window managers to communicate directly with applications and video hardware and expects them to communicate with input hardware using other libraries. Applications render graphics to their own buffers, and the window manager becomes the display server, compositing those buffers to form the on-screen display of application windows. This is a simpler and more efficient approach than using a compositing window manager with the X Window System.[3]
Existing compositing window managers, such as Compiz, KWin, and Mutter are expected to implement Wayland support directly, to become Wayland compositors / display servers.

[edit]Background
Kristian Høgsberg (krh), a software engineer who works on the GNU/Linux graphics stack, started Wayland as a spare-time project in 2008, while working for Red Hat;[4] he is now at Intel.[5] His earlier work on X included AIGLX,[6] which enabled hardware acceleration of compositing window managers, and DRI2.[7][8][9]
His stated goal was a system in which "every frame is perfect, by which I mean that applications will be able to control the rendering enough that we'll never see tearing, lag, redrawing or flicker."
Wayland is free software, and the libraries (libwayland-server and libwayland-client) were released under the MIT License, with the demo compositor and clients originally under the GPLv2 license. Moving the whole project to LGPLv2 was planned but did not occur and the project is now switching fully to the MIT License.[10][11] As of November 2010, Wayland only works with free and open source drivers for Intel, AMD (previously known as ATI) and Nvidia (nouveau driver) graphics cards.[12] As of November 2010, Nvidia has no plans to support it in their proprietary drivers.[13] [needs update]
The name "Wayland" comes from Wayland, MA. Høgsberg was driving through that town when the concepts behind Wayland "crystallized".
