The community vote for proposing the graduation can be found at: http://www.nabble.com/forum/ViewPost.jtp?post=10697484&framed=y The Wicket community was already diverse when it entered the incubator, and has grown even more diverse by adding 3 additional members to its core. In the months following the incubation the Wicket community has resolved several licensing issues, and overcame a very drastic change in the future of the project (scrapping a future direction of the framework). During the process of incubation, the PPMC learned how to govern itself, voting in new committers and PPMC members. Mentors offered invaluable advice and assistance in getting the project set up and settled in the Apache infrastructure. Their guidance has helped the project mature and follow Apache community principles even more than it already did. During the incubation the Wicket project has issued one release. The incubator checklist web page for Wicket can be found at: http://incubator.apache.org/projects/wicket.html The proposed resolution for establishing the Apache Wicket project: Establish the Apache Wicket project WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Foundation and consistent with the Foundation's purpose to establish a Project, to be known as "Apache Wicket Project", related to the creation and maintenance of open source software, grounded in object oriented programming principles, for creating highly dynamic, component oriented web applications for distribution at no charge to the public.
