-1000. Locator *might* have been a good name for what we now call Model, had it been introduced right from the start, but I doubt even that. I offer two arguments against ever changing this now, though: - A Model is a well-known concept in software engineering, and Wicket's usage matches that of Swing. - Model is an entrenched name by now. Renaming it now would confuse everybody and their dog, including newcomers who read old documentation or existing books. I don't really care one way or another about moving away from the I-convention with interfaces. I don't like it, it's not "standard", but it's at least a pattern that almost everybody has heard of. I don't see any pressing need to move away from it, so I'm maybe -0.1 here :-) If the I is removed and Model needs to be renamed so as not to collide with the ex-IModel, I think ObjectModel or DefaultModel would be suitable names.
