Currently, we do not have any volunteer working on this, to my
knowledge, and no paid developers, either.
Unless Covid numbers play a prank on us on short notice, we'll be
hosting X2Go: The Gathering 2024 at Linuxhotel Essen by the end of June.
(A wiki page for the event already exists, the official announce will
follow soon). I hope that we'll be able to discuss the future of a
possible X2Go-Wayland-Integration at that event.
My rough guess is that it will involve X2Go-KDrive, while NX will not be
supported for Wayland connections. And yes, somehow merging waypipe with
X2Go's session persistence features and client GUI is probably the way
to go.

As always: Sponsors welcome, patches welcome ...

Kind Regards,
Stefan Baur
