Hi Igor,

one issue that we are forgetting here and that needs to be mentioned is that wicket 2.0 requires jdk5 while 1.x is jdk1.4. so im not sure how viable of an option it is to freeze the featureset of 1.3 and only add bugfixes. a good chunk of our community cannot migrate to jdk5 and we have promised to support them not only with bugfixes but with an evolving featureset for at
least a good while.

Good point - so maybe follow the advice from Niclas and incubate 1.3 as well. Seems like you are in a good position to do that. I don't see it being released yet through SourceForge at all, so changing all package names to Apache is a fair game.

also keeping things completely separate ( issue tracking, svn, mailing list
) will add a significant overhead to our administration.

BTW, in Cayenne we migrated the entire repository to Apache SVN, with all past release history. Same for the mailing lists - just keep a single set in the incubator. The only piece that will be handled differently is packaging and distributing a release (SourceForge for un-incubated stuff; Apache - for the rest). This way you won't fracture the community and reduce the maintenance work.

we are already stretched thin by supporting two versions, this will just add pain for us
not to mention that some issues that are discussed are relevant to the
development of both 1.x and 2.0 branches.

That's understandable, and yet another reason to consolidate as much as possible.

Andrus
