Doug, Congratulations on getting your site into production so quickly - I hope it's a big success.
It sounds like you are more than satisfied with your decision to choose Wicket for your presentation layer and importantly, it's especially encouraging to get a resounding thumbs up for all the hard work the Wicket committers have been putting into the "generic"isation of Wicket's models (despite all the debate about the wisdom of extending this components - they don't even all use models (?!)), especially coming from someone who has pushed these new Wicket constructs in the real world.
