1) A component reference would be nice. yes i know there are
javadocs. but something like the ANT-Taks manual just for components
would be good. Maybe with examples + screenshots/wireframes.
2) A complete, _well structured_, reference (see Spring, Hibernate
projects). It must not be a 400page doc. But it should contain all
important (basic & advanced) features and it should be very well
structured. nothing is more frustrating than diggin blogs, wikis and
javadocs to find out something.
3) A more complex example (simple ones are there) that uses most of
the features in a "best-practice" kind of way. Petstore or a similar
example. maybe with a "wicket in action" thing.
All those kept up-to-date should really do nice. I think good an well
maintained docs are the key factors for wicket to prevail. I, as a
user, value them more important than features. i don't have the time
to read the source code or dozends of wikis or blog examples. i
prefer a central well structured reference i can use. I also learned
that it is way better starting docs in early phaseand postpone some
features than having to write a huge doc later on.
my 2cents.

I've really liked Wicket approach to web application development. I
wish it becomes more and more successful and popular in the near
future.
Go Wicket! ;-)
Go Geertjan, go Geertjan! :)
I think it would be good if people were to specify EXACTLY what
kind of things we'd like to have in terms of documentation. I mean,
there are already several basic tutorials on the Wicket site. What
kind of things are missing -- once we know that we can work out how
to provide the necessary docs.
I've started assembling a component reference doc -- http://
blogs.sun.com/roller/page/geertjan/?
anchor=wicket_markup_html_webcomponent_voor
Is this going in the right direction? What other/additional things
would be needed for that doc? Or is it superfluous?
