I had a discussion about this with martin dashorst when we meet this year at a conference. Apparently, he does like the idea of a SO like Q&A site for wicket. But wicket being an Apache project, there are certain requirement if i recall our discussion correctly.
One of the problems is the hosting of such a side. The mailing list, bugtracker, wicki,... are all hosted and maintained by the apache admins. Getting a new tool into there is not easy. One could host a solution outside of apache, but this opens questions about long term support of the infrastructure, privacy issues and so forth. There are a few opensource implementations available: http://gitorious.org/shapado (used by debian at http://ask.debian.net/) http://www.osqa.net/ I do like the SO style (never been a fan of mailing lists), but on the other side registering here is not much of a hassle.
