We all know Wicket is open source, we all know what open source means, an we all know that we aren't paying anyone. It's just that if someone had the resources to pay anyone or significantly contribute to the documentation himself (*after* having learned everything he'd need, and after doing so *without* a complete reference), he'd probably not complain in the first place. More probable is that he's already got a job to do himself and is just looking for the best tool to do so. Of course, shouting abuse (not that I'd think anyone here did) at maybe even unsalaried developers who are doing what they can doesn't help, either. To add my experience to the subject, I bought the 'Wicket in Action' book some time ago, and for my first steps with Wicket 6 I tried to extract what I could from it and the Net. The problem is, just as Philippe said, much has changed between versions, and it's not only that things I find sometimes don't apply anymore, but, what's possibly worse, I can't even know whether code examples I find still work until I tried them myself, as the changes aren't really exhaustively documented and because, well, there is no such thing as a Wicket 6 reference. As far as I am concerned, I'll keep trying to get into Wicket 6, though - but that's something I'll be doing in my spare time, because I probably won't ever see Wicket used at my main job, and so I can take my time.
