I have to add here that I have asked quite a few questions on this list, and always received a plethora of helpful information - 90% of the time from core contributors. This list is the best open source mailing list I have ever subscribed to or asked questions on. Many times I have sent emails to other user lists, even active ones, with questions I could not find the answer to, and never received a response - at all.
The entire Wicket community is very friendly and helpful. And, honestly, if I asked a question for which there were an answer in the javadoc - I would appreciate Martijn's answer - it would remind me to look for it myself (which we sometimes get so busy we forget) - and it has much better longterm benefit than giving a direct answer, or even copy-and-paste the javadoc. Of course, Andrew, you always have the option of explaining it to the new user, too - that might help with the wide spread adoption. I see from your message history that you love Wicket like the rest of it, and have received many fine answers from the same core committers that you criticize here. Just saying - it goes both ways. THANK YOU WONDERFUL WICKET COMMUNITY AND ESPECIALLY THE CORE COMMITTERS (Igor, Martijn, Johan, and everyone)!!!! My 2 cents.... On Thu, May 1, 2008 at 2:13 PM, C.
