Mind that I write "official" meaning by that that they do not need to be hosted or maintained by core wicket developers but on a satellite project that is "mentored" by core developers and that follows the same release schedules that wicket does. The closest thing to that now is wicket-stuff. But IMHO that project is too open and there are projects of many different quality levels hosted under the same "umbrella". So, IMO a satellite project, where successful-well-maintained-mature projects would be invited to join in, is needed and it will be welcomed by the community. > I think the current YUI datetime component needs a change because: > - it uses YUI 2.x which is no more supported > - Wicket comes with jQuery by default and using YUI for a widget just > contributes to the slower responses > > Why I think Apache Wicket doesn't need its own date component ? > Because there are several out there already (wiquery, wicket-jquery-ui, > wicket-bootstrap, jqwicket, jwicket, ....) > Not needed to "pollute" core... if some of those projects are invite to join satellite project. > Maybe we should adopt some of those ? > If we decide to do that then we have to invite their developers too because > at the moment we have no resources to maintain it ourselves.
