This seems a little ridiculous. What point is there in having something incubated if there are no users? What sort of a community would it be that didn't accept feedback and evolve based on that feedback? How many users are willing to wait 6+ months to use something just because it is undergoing

You say "One of those is to be able to build releases for our community": do you mean that you are unhappy with the stated need to release from Apache and mark with "Incubating" (i.e. you want to release 1.x from SF)? Or if you were to bring the 1.x branches over to Apache, would you be prepared t

Sorry for this lengthy response, but I got a negative vibe from several reactions to this thread and I feel a need to vent my concerns. First I am a big fan of Apache and the Apache community. I think that the way Apache works is a great example of how a community effort can produce great softwar

Time scale for Wicket 2.0 is to start out releasing betas within two months. We plan to finish Wicket In Action the next few months - say october - and we really want the 2.0 API stabilized by then, as we're covering 2.0. The major changes we had in mind for 2.0 have been in for a few months now,

Well, my view would be that I'd like to keep the 1.2.x stream as wicket-1.2.x, whereas I'd be happy enough for the 1.3 stream to be wicket-incubating-1.3*. We'd expect the users to check the changes from 1.2 to 1.3, so having the "incubating" there (and explained in the release not) seems fine to
