In my previous e-mail I mentioned having an index to example cdapp
source classes for how to do complex things.  I'm sorry if I'm beating
on this too hard, but when I think something is probably important I
tend to beat on it.

I look at Wicket kind of like I look at Lego kits.  

When I was growing up the Lego kits pretty much just came with a few
basic shapes and a couple of pictures on the box of a house or
skyscraper.  That was cool, but it was all pretty basic and got boring
after a while.

But now the new Lego designer kits come with many more shapes and sizes
and, more importantly, a 30-paged book giving step-by-step examples on
making complex air-planes, rockets, semi-trailer trucks, etc using the
same 150+ pieces in a kit.

Suddenly Legos have become much more fun and interesting.  Taking the
time to add an instruction booklet brings the full power of Legos and
the imagination of it's original designers to people (like me :-) who
don't have a lot of time or imagination to figure out how "standard"
pieces can fit together in different ways to create unique solutions to
complex problems.

Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse.  :-)  I just liked the Lego analogy
and had to share it because I think it is relevant.  I don't think
Wicket needs lots of step-by-step examples yet (although in a book
someday that would be great) but simple web pointers to possible
solutions in the example cdapp source code would go a looong way towards
the same end, IMHO.
