PropertyComponentFactory isn't something that you'd be implementing as
an "extender" of the framework most likely.  You'll be adding your own
property editors.  For an example of how to do that, take a look at
the Joda stuff probably.

Right now, Wicketopia doesn't support automatic editing related
entities.  It's on the to-do list for sure.  Basically, the next big
thing for Wicketopia would be a "search" abstraction.  Because, to
find an entity to associate with the entity you're editing, most
likely you'll be doing some type of search (unless it's just a
drop-down, but that will not be the case when there are many objects,
obviously).

Sure will!  Alexandros Karypidis is working with me on Wicketopia
right now.  He showed interest by wicket-1.5-izing Wicketopia, so I
just gave him access to SVN and let him have at it.  If you want to
add a dojo module, as long as its scope makes sense to be part of the
framework itself, I see no reason why you can't be made part of the
team!  I don't plan on maintaining this thing all by myself.  The more
the merrier, I say!  We just have to make sure we keep our approach as
user-focused as possible, because Wicketopia is intended to be used by
other folks, not just us. :)

What exactly is it that you want to do with dojo that you can't do
with the built-in ajax libraries?  Are you thinking of using a
specific dojo component of some sort?
