The Wayland Protocol

Drew DeVault has just released a (mostly complete) book on the Wayland display-server protocol under the Creative Commons CC-SA license. "This book will help you establish a firm understanding of the concepts, design, and implementation of Wayland, and equip you with the tools to build your own Wayland client and server applications. Over the course of your reading, we'll build a mental model of Wayland and establish the rationale that went into its design. Within these pages you should find many 'aha!' moments as the intuitive design choices of Wayland become clear, which should help to keep the pages turning." For those who would rather peruse (or contribute to) the Markdown source, it's available here.
