Thanks for the reply.

1) Product Roadmap (Release plans, upcoming features etc)
This is important to us because it will at least indicate the intentions of
Wicket Team. As any technology that is adopted enterprise-wide needs to be
long-lived and well supported in addition to it's features and technology,
some visibility about the product lifecycle is required.

I did see the wishlist but was wishing for something more like a roadmap with projected release timelines, I can see why that it will probably not be accurate for an open sourced project but an indication of a rough ETA and included features will be good.

By the way, is the wishlist official? As in are the features present in the wishlist official? Or is the wishlist used as an idea incubator/exchange?

2) Recent Adoption Statistics (No of downloads, usage projections)
We need this to gauge the interest in the project. Has it peaked? What
is the pattern like?

++ Nice idea

a) Although there is examples and documentation available on Wicket main
site and Wicket stuff, I find that the organization of the information is
probably not friendly enough for easy viewing. E.g. the examples site does
not contain source and viewable example together in an easy to read page.
This can be improved on significantly.

"you and your team are welcome to contribute, great ideas btw"

Planning to once I get up to speed.
Being such an easy to use component framework, I am really puzzled about why the
plugin development seems so bare

One reason is that it's so easy to make plugins it feels unnecessary
to publish them.

Actually I kinda disagree. Take Delphi which was awesome for it's component architecture and IDE. Writing components and packaging them was very easy but it had a HUGE thriving component library market place where you can literally purchase thousands of packages and libraries.
c) The mailing list is wonderful and I have had some questions very quickly
answered, which points to an active and supportive community for which I'm
grateful. If there is a way to harness this and make the information more
easily accessible, it'll be awesome.

Google reaches most of the discussion via nable/osdir.

Yea, that is how I got most of the solutions to my little set of problems. =) Just wishing that it can be better.

My 2cents worth ;)
