Unfortunately we have no marketing department :-). At the moment there's no "Wicket company" that can do some kind of advertising. What I will certainly do for Wicket 8 is publishing an article at dzone.com. I try to write as many Wicket-related articles as possible on this site. If you have any suggestion or advice they are warmly welcome!
