Bug Description
Feedback from Daniel van Vugt:
- Backend for a "window manager": This means a shell, linking to libmirserver.
- Class structure (via libmirserver) maybe not quite right to go documenting this yet.
- you can look at examples/
shell with no links to Unity. It still needs more functionality yet, though.
We could link to this example more prominently on the main page to start this effort.
Is the class structure definition tracked somewhere else?

This task should be deferred. Because the instructions will change significantly as we build and learn from writing our own initial Mir shells. The API is changing as much as the shells themselves right now.
