Wow, that's great news! I find it very exciting that Wicket joins
Apache.

One thing I can tell you is that some Apache people are already
using Wicket, highly appreciated because it is lightweight, not
intrusive, and gives power back to the programmer. Thus this move
is more than welcome.
Concerning the other web application frameworks at Apache, I would
talk about « competition » rather than « conflicts ». This shows
that Wicket is not « just another framework », but that it is high
quality software standing in good place next to the well-known
others (you didn't mention Cocoon BTW).
And about moving from SourceForge to Apache, don't forget that
SourceForge is an OSS *repository*, whereas Apache is an OSS
*community*, i.e. a group of people knowing each other.
Long life to Apache Wicket ;-)
