I can't speak for the wicket committers, but in my opinion users should be encouraged to write down as much as possible in the wiki, even if the quality is not perfect. Other people can (and will, in my experience) improve it and remove redundant or false information. Exactly :) Eelco ---

I have to agree. What would be nice, if possible, is a small example code snippet in the Javadoc for each object. However, some may feel that code doesn't belong in there at all and should be in the wiki instead. Personally, I like example code too but small examples don't always fully illustra
