at the moment, we're focussing on JSP.  A custom tag library is under
development that accesses the repository and allows url mapping.

It should certainly be possible to develop a frontend in Wicket; the
models that we use to access the repository are easily reused.
To embed plugins, e.g. those used by the CMS, does require some support
from the environment.  The Wicket session needs to provide a valid JCR
session, for example.

yes, if you're components don't need to have any interaction with the
CMS then this is certainly possible.

When you do want to have an interaction, some additional constaints will
(likely) be present due to the possible actions of other plugins.

If you want to further discuss the Hippo CMS, then we should move the
discussion to the hipporepos-dev mailing list.  You can subscribe and
visit the archives at
http://lists.hippo.nl/mailman/listinfo/hipporepos-dev
The traffic mainly consists of JIRA updates and svn-logs, but it should
be possible to filter these out if you want to.

thanks for the interest!

cheers, Frank
