Craig, Thanks. Where is the code now? Igor Vaynberg (from the Wicket development team) and I (a lowly Wicket user :) are both interested in working on a wicket implementation (hopefully together). If we could see what it currently entails, we may be able to get started.
It might be nice if Olio itself could provide some common "stuff" (language-specific of course) that any implementation would need such as perhaps some Repository/DAO interfaces and their implementations using different technologies (hibernate, jdo, ibatis, jpa, cayenne, etc.). That way, creating an implementation using your web framework of choice could just grab that stuff "off the shelf" and run with it. If we use common code for some parts of the implementations, then we take that variable out of the equation and we can see how the frameworks themselves stack up against one another. Perhaps even setting up a web services-based implementation of the "domain" might be a good way to keep it separated. Just a thought. I wouldn't mind helping out on Olio during incubation (and after incubation). I've never worked on an incubating project, but I am a PMC member on Commons and I'm the PMC chair for HiveMind, so I have some experience with the "apache way." I'm not currently a member of the Incubator PMC (I think I just have to ask to join, though). Would that help?
