@dobey said in Qt Creator for Unity8 developing?:
These APIs are not used by Mir or Unity8, so not especially useful to be wading through if you want to work on those two projects.
Noted, thanks for clearing that up. Do you know any snippets or auto-complete libraries for mir/wayland? I hope not to appear overly lazy, just thinking that a pair of side wheels can save a few face plants when learning to ride.

I don't know what source you have for "Qt Creator has Wayland support", so you may know something I don't. But I imagine that this means it runs on the Qt "wayland" backend.
I honestly don´t know what I' m talking about, I have just installed Qt Creator and scrolled around in the documentation 
What are the examples in the screen shot referring to actually?
After snooping around a little, it seems that Qt Creator has Wayland support. I guess & hope that means e.g auto-completing from the Wayland library. For someone venturing into Mir / Wayland territory, will using Qt Creator ease up a bit of the learning curve?
I would like to look at these issues but can't spare the focus time until start of June.

The mirclient API is the API provided by libmirclient.so.
Thanks for the example. Is there any way to download an example of a libmirclient.so file without installing anything? The closest I got was a mention on this Ubuntu package
EDIT: or perhaps there is some documentation of the libmirclient API in order to understand better exactly what parts of the code is addressing the API?
Thanks @alan_g.
What exactly is the "mirclient API", is that an abstraction or a specific set of files? Could you give a small example e.g a line of code showing dependence on that API, and perhaps how a Wayland extension could replace it?
@alan_g said in 2019: Time to make Unity8 great again?:
Once Mir has a Mir-on-Wayland platform it will be possible to retain that architecture and use Wayland instead of the mirclient API.
Naive question alert, sorry:
is it possible to estimate/ quantify the amount of work for that task in any way? E.g, how many skilled developers will need to work on this problem fulltime in order to have a solution in one year? 50, 100, 4...?
Seemingly, there are two versions of "Norwegian bokmål". There are "nb" and "nb_NO". Which one to choose for starting a new documentation translation?
