This is an open source project to develop a variant of Sway which will run on Wayland. The project initially will involve making various improvements to Sway, but eventually involve significant new functionality. The goal is to generally replicate i3 on Wayland and go beyond that to create a superior window manager in terms of stability and functionality. Testing will be on Ubuntu, Debian and Arch, so the developer must have all three environments available. This is C project. Some C++ coding may be required when modifying legacy code, but all new code will be in pure C99. Fluent English is required. Code documentation or commenting is not required, but all variables must be descriptive and explanatory (no cryptic or one letter variables like x, y, temp, var, etc). Source code will be managed with git.

Dear Sir, My name is Mustafa Elnaquib, I'm a biomedical software engineer for more than 10 years. Relevant work experience; doing C/C++ on Linux for Linux for 18 years now worked extensively with xlib for many tasks like recording events, detecting configuration, ... good with Linux APIs, system calls, multimedia APIs, etc. using C, C++, Python,... good knowledge with helper tools; xinput, xwininfo, wmctrl, ... I understand these are xorg specific though worked with X, linux framebuffer, directfb etc, in different low level projects; Patient monitors, TVBoxes, etc. I realize wayland has a different architecture, non the less being exposed to lowlevel api gave me a good idea about what it does, and how it should be implemented; quick question, about using only c99, why not glibc, GObject? I have no problem working with just c99, and I have no problems maintaining old and large legacy code bases Looking forward to hear more about this feels really exciting :) Mustafa Elnaquib. *NOTE* Although I'm new on freelancer.com, I have well established profiles on other sites.
