I have similar questions. I generally perceive Apache as the place
open-source projects go to die :) Let's just say I've never really been
awe inspired by any of their stuff. As such is this a step forward or
backward? SVN, Jira, Confluence sure are nice but keep in mind there are
more than one way to gain access to them. In fact, as an open-source
project Wicket is automatically entitled to free licenses, you don't
need Apache for that.
Apache might be the right way to go, but I'd definitely like to hear
more about the impacts it'll have on the future of the project. What new
rules and regulations will Apache enforce on the Wicket release
schedule, license, etc?
