+1 on the milestone thing. I think we should call it Wicket 6, just to annoy Howard. ;-p
Seriously, though, I'm sure I remember seeing something vaguely official from Apache on this, but I can't find it on Google. :( That said, several other Apache projects have remarkably similar numbering conventions: http://openjpa.apache.org/openjpareleasepolicy.html http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/NextRelease Which suggests that we should probably call it Wicket 2.0.0, unless we want to make sure the generics support and everything else is actually backwards-compatible, which seems improbable.
