it is not going to be built "here". i wrote it as a toy. people in ##wicket have been talking about badly wanting one. those people will be the ones working on it, not the wicket committers. this is not a wicket core project.

as far as to why, i think wicket will easy allow us to build some very cool features. like in the page if you put {calendar id="blah"} you can easily have a calendar component in your wiki page. there are other wikis that offer this, but wicket wiki will offer this in a much simpler fashion because of wicket's component oriented nature. that means anyone who knows wicket will be able to easily write plugins.

i would love to have a WikiMarkupPanel that i can drop into any app i write and get the wiki formatting as well as any plugins working right away.

Last comment : why to build a wiki or cms application here. It is the
wicket goal ?
If I understand, the wicket main target is to provide a very nice web
framework.
Why not to work with another team which is more focusing on CMS/ECM problem ?

There so many open source projects in java. This is certainly the big
issue compare to other plateform like Zope. That causes small
communities. So, why to create another wiki system (or CMS, ECM or
...) ?
