Hey,
If it is there is an issue with the documentation being written in poor English, I would be more than happy to review and edit it. I am a native English speaker. Unfortunately I know only a little bit about the project, and so would not be able to write any of the documentation myself. However, I have been following the developer and user list conversations closely. So far, I like what I see, and would like to help out if I can.

Hi,
Well, I don't think it should be the main issue if its wel written in english, we need documentation, if its a bit crappy or not. And if we find someone along the way, he can ether use the crappy documentation to write something better or corrent the language error's!
I don't know enough about wicket jet, but I am learning every day, and could write down what I learned, so that other people don't have to it figure out themself.
just a offer : )

First, I need to get some practical Wicket coding experience. I don't know whether it showed or not, but I haven't actually coded a single Wicket application to date :) :)
Once that's done, I will try to help with the user manual but I should point out that I am holding down two jobs and my native tongue is not English, it's Hebrew :) All that goes to say is that now that the holiday period is over my time will be severely limited. I'll try to do my best. What do you guys use to modify the PDF document?

Yep, and thank you for submitting those issues.
What I meant is that *someone* should work at the user's manual. That doesn't require deep API knowledge, but it does require good English writing skills. Juergen, Johan, Martijn (though he might give it a try sometime) and I fall in the category 'not English/ American/ Canadian natives'.
IMO, delivering a Wicket 1.0 without a good user's manual would be like delivering a house without a front door.

Jon has already asked me. The problem is that I don't know enough about Wicket to be able to document it. If a method/class has no documentation I am basically clueless as to how it should work in the first place. The most I can do, from a newbie's point of view, is point out when the preexisting documentation is confusing and should be clarified. I have already filed specific bug reports against some documentation and suggested some alternative text.

Gili, are you interested in documenting (user's manual)?

yeah, i understand that. i think good javadoc is asking enough of devs, especially with the language issue. i can't take on the docs, but will help with javadocs.
