Re: GSoC ideas for 09

Having done Gsoc for 2008 (Unrelated OSS project) I'd suggest extremely well defined projects, extremely clear project management and quite a few introductions for tasks expected, not to mention multiple mentors (For picking up slack) defined targets and monitoring as if this was a VC set of

Here is some info: http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2009/faqs.html I'll be happy to contribute my time also. The only catch is that I wouldn't be considered a Wicket expert. I've only read Wicket in Action and I'm three months into a professional application based on Wicket. However, I am a

While I am perfectly capable of working on Wicket in my spare time without being rewarded, I find it way out of line to characterize the way I spend my own time as lame when such that doesn't fit the criteria of anyone. Being characterized as lame because we are engaged in other things, such as fam

The words of C. Bergstrom may have been poorly chosen, but he seems to have the same goal of wanting Wicket to succeed and grow in popularity. Providing harsh responses to users that, despite poor communication, are otherwise excited about your project does not help to grow your community or get ot

I did some reading and found that a "mentoring organization" for the GSoC is considered "A group running an active free/open source software project". That seems to imply a core committer would need to be involved. See: http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2009/faqs.html#0_1_org_is_47611255748869

It seems like a lame proposition to coerce us to do your bidding "just because you think it is a good idea". You're not the one to tell us how to spend our personal time, or whether the choices we make on how to spend our own time is lame or not. There's a Wicket Stuff project where anyone can com

- tool to migrate JSF apps to Wicket (heh heh) +1 for that. this would be the killer argument to finally start transitioning to wicket. it does not need to be a 100% converter of all jsf+backing beans - a two-way method for sharing panels/components would enable better transition to wicket.

You've got 86 unresolved enhancements and 32 feature requests on issues.apache.org. The leaders might want to umbrella a couple of related ones and have them coded on GSoC. Also, there might be a couple of orphaned projects on wicketstuff and elsewhere that could get into the main distribution. wic
