All good stuff! I think here are the essential points if someone could just wrap some words around them:
* Open Source * Fresh take on Web App frameworks * Harnesses the full power of OO, realizes all of its promise * Specializes in dynamic, component oriented web applications * Component oriented nature and separation of concerns scales well for large development teams * Baked in support for core technologies: Ajax, dependency injection (spring), orm (hibernate) * Fun!! I wouldn't worry too much what the suits say, but the word "radical" really isn't appropriate. Its just that other frameworks are so brain damaged that wicket seems radical.

sounds nice - i would change it that way: "Apache Wicket is an Open Source project that brings you a new, bright and fast way of webapplication development. Designed from the ground up to allow developers to exploit the full power of Object-Oriented-Design, Wicket excels at component development, reusability and makes developing even in bigger teams a breeze." would be shorter and sounds not too "radical" (usually is a showstopper word for the "Suitsfraction" that often stops new technologies for business reasons).
