I got it:) Although I think I heard a discussion once on the wicket irc
channel about scala..
I admit I can be a little naive sometimes.

Hi,
Now that half of the team is getting ready to work on Wicket 1.4,
which is all about supporting the Java 5 features, I think it is time
for the other half of the team to start talking about Wicket 3.0 (we
skip 2.0 as we've used that for prototyping before), which is
scheduled for 2009.
We've had some offline talk about this with various team members, and
it seems that we have basic agreement on at least a couple of things:
* Wicket 3.0 source will be all Scala (http://www.scala-lang.org/),
which means quite a transition for our team, but we will still
maintain compatibility with regular Java.
* Relax our policy towards scripting in pages. We're just getting
tired of people having a hard time to do simple things with Wicket, so
in the future we want to support loops, conditionals and property
expressions directly in the markup on top of the facilities we have
now.
* Introduce layout managers. While it is great to be able to directly
code markup with Wicket, we'd like to hide that a bit more and
introduce layout managers as the preferential mechanism for composing
pages and components.
* Swing compatibility. We want our future components to be able to run
directly in Swing, and Swing components to be run in Wicket apps. Just
like some of our competitors.
WDYT? Comments/ suggestions?
Cheers,
Eelco
