We build this in our spare time, and are customers ourselves. Wicket is not a product, it is an open source community. The definition of community is in the strictest sense defined as the core committers. They have to do the job, and won't do it when they don't see any benefit, or don't enjoy working on the project. > It's up to the "core committers" to do the best > job they can to make sure their "consumers" are getting what they need...

We don't say that, but without the core committers, you won't have a framework. Treat us gently and you'll get a lot done. :D Martijn -- Become a Wicket expert, learn from the best: http://wicketinaction.com Apache Wicket 1.3.4 is released Get it now: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/wicket/1.3. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
