Seems so.
I like to think of the sentence
"a small framework at which the bowler aims the ball."
As doing a bullseye, within web frameworks:)

thanks Nino, I knew I'd seen it somewhere but couldn't remember.
so it was reference to the game of cricket stumps rather than to quote a
dictionary: "a window or opening, often closed by a grating or the like, as
in a door, or forming a place of communication in a ticket office, a
teller's cage in a bank, etc."

Jonathan Locke wrote something about it in his foreword in WIA:
"Several 60-hour weeks later, the first version of Wicket was born. (In
case you're
wondering, Wicket was the first fun and unique-sounding short word that
Miko also
liked and that wasn't being used for a major software project. It also
appears in some
dictionaries as a cricket term for "a small framework at which the bowler
aims the
ball.") I'm happy to say that after more than four years and the input of
many manyears
of effort from the open source community, Wicket now meets most if not all
of
my criteria for a web framework"

We where just chating here, and we're wondering where the name wicket
comes
from ?
Looking it up on in the dictionary I couldn't really see the connection.
Anyone know how the name came about?
thanks
