The main point for me is that you are forking the Wicket code to create the Apache project, and intent is everything. If you're planning on actively developing in the old community, I'd question the decision to come to Apache.
It might be a question of degree, as while the intention is that the primary development be in the 2.0 branch, there is a roadmap for the 1.* branch that includes a 1.3 which might be viewed as having "new features", to support the "old community" which may not be in a position to switch to the 2.0 branch, as that will be a non-trivial change. That's the release branch that I'm concerned about, and my concern is that the above, taken literally, could be read as a suggestion to abandon our existing users... /Gwyn --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
