+  This document describes the (i) Wayland architecture, (ii) Wayland model of
+  operation and (iii) its library API. Also, the Wayland protocol specification is shown
+  in the Appendix. This document is aimed primarily at Wayland developers and
+  those looking to program with it; it does not cover application development.

+  There have been many contributors to this document and since this is only the

+  corrections.
