I think this weekend they could be prepped for release, or make a 0.9 or 0.1 release, pending the finalization of wicket 1.1.

According to Igor, the code for wicket-contrib-dataview is ready. Now the documentation part.

I've helped Igor out yesterday night, and am willing to help others as well.

If they want to use maven for the release, then I can help, if they want ant or make,
the projects are on their own ;-)

At the very least a released project should provide  documentation on what the project
solves (why should I download wicket-contrib-xxx?), and perhaps a basic example (in
documentation) on how to use it.

As for conventions:
 - make it clear when you don't release your project under the ASF license 2.0, and release your project under another, OSI approved, license (Hibernate anyone?)
 - you may use maven, but aren't required to do so. It will help adoption of your component when you make sure your component is available through the maven repository at ibiblio.
 - documentation, documentation, documentation. Your component won't be succesful when it is left undocumented
 - create some sort of a web presence. Ask nicely and the wicket-stuff main project page might even provide a link to your project ;-) Again this can be done using maven (see the spring or fvalidate projects), or using some sort of static html or something else you might prefer. Again, I can help out here.

If you choose to use maven, then the following things are handy:

- create a jar: maven jar
- run the tests: maven test
- create javadocs: maven javadoc
- create a site: maven site
- create a distribution: maven dist

Just running maven will normally not do anything, except download your dependencies.

How does everyone feel about releasing a bunch of wicket-stuff
projects this weekend?

Which ones are ready for it and who will help (preferably, everyone
takes care of delivering a working maven/ ant build for their own
projects)?
