Description

Currently, only wayfire supports custom config backends, thanks to it's plugin system. However, there are other projects which use wf-config - wf-shell, wcm, etc. It would be nice if we could have a very limited plugin system for wf-config - this would help the other projects as well.

Research direction

Start by surveying the wf-config architecture and how wf-shell and wcm currently consume it. Define the scope and interface for a limited plugin system that supports custom config formats, then verify that the affected projects can use those backends without relying on Wayfire's existing plugin system.
