Wayland support

Hi,

I’ve seen that there is a suggested task in the Wiki list about (re)introducing Wayland support into Kodi, which I’m interested in. I’ve searched around a bit and found the old pull request that was rejected. But it seems that the Kodi Wayland fork of Max Kellermann is still being actively maintained and updated. So, for GSoC, what exactly should be done? Is it expected to grab Max’ code and try to get it merged (with modifications if necessary)? If so, this would be very difficult to propose as a project without knowing exactly what kinds of problems the Kodi team sees with the current state of the code – which is probably quite different from back when the Wayland support was removed from the main repository. Or are there substantial problems with the current solution that require a complete rewrite from scratch?
