The Wicket developers (http://wicket.sourceforge.net) have expressed a
desire to incubate their project within the ASF.
I personally think that Wicket would fit very well at Apache with its
flavour of innovation and its strong, meritocracy based community.
The proposal follows (which can also be

I appreciate this addition to the web-framework competition at the

What does that mean? Does he not think wicket should move to apache? Does
he not want to sign a CLA? Is there consensus within wicket on this move
