I'm in the camp who doesn't think that is an example. In fact, the big
pro of this is that you'll have your developers practice more with OO
so Wicket might even make them better coders.

It seems to be very specific for the Java (and possibly .NET) crowd as
well. I don't think ErlyWeb to name one gets criticized for requiring
it's users to know Erlang.

Documentation will always be something that can be improved. What's
new? Even with projects like Hibernate it is sometimes hard to find
exactly what you want, and about 90% of open source projects hardly
have any documentation.

Anyway, it would be great to have a single tutorial that stands out
from the rest of the web site to get people going. Someone just has to
pick this up again and feel responsible for it. Also, the fact that
Martijn and I are writing Wicket In Action is to provide more
documentation. So we are working on improving it.
