Unfortunately, those 'idiotic managers' (and I'm not disagreeing with you) hold the purse strings. The move to Apache was a big step towards acceptance by the business types. If you try to sell a new technology with a weird name to your manager, it's not helping that there are "just some guys from the internet" behind this (let's not argue whether that really matters or not, it's just about the impression it gives).
Let's just say this: there are at least two angles to selling a particular technology: the business angle and the technical merits. While the technical merits of Wicket are evangalized, the business case is less promoted. Thomas PS: Just for the record, I'm totally opposed to starting a wicket JSR.
