Hi Jonathan,
I have been working on the new user guide at:
http://wicket.sourceforge.net/wiki/doku.php?id=newuserguide&DokuWiki=9642a4ac6dc8e7fde461ebb2f488de88.
It is far from done, but I think it makes a decent start.
Besides the fact that I am very bussy with Wicket (finding/ fixing bugs,
working on more examples, etc) and other stuff, and thus don't have much
free time left for working on the manual, I also don't enjoy working on
it much, and - as English is not my native tongue - I find it quite hard
to write good articles.
Anyway, I am trying the best I can, and we are also updating the
how-to's regularily. But we can use any help for sure!
So, here's my call for help again... is there anyone out there with good
writing skills wanting to work on the Wicket user guide?

I'm very pleased with the work you guys have been doing. :-)
Is it really wise, though, to release 1.0 without an updated user
manual? I'm mostly beyond the point of needing one now. But when I
started out, Jonathan's user manual is what really got me over the
initial fear of a steep learning curve. There are too many frameworks
out there for me to waste time with one that doesn't give me an easy
leg-up on the learning curve that I can hold in my hands.
When 1.0 comes out, I think it is very important to capitalize on the
attention it should garner. Without a relatively complete and
professional looking User Manual, any 1.0 momentum could easily be
squandered.
Hopefully I'm out of touch with how far-along the user manual really is
though. If not, couldn't someone at least take Jonathan's old User
Manual and update it to reflect the new API changes before 1.0 goes out?
I'd love to volunteer, but I'm struggling for free-time as it is, given
that I have 3 young children and a wife.

May 21, 2005 - 1.0 RC3 is out!
Finally, after a month of some silence, we have produced our last
release candidate before we deploy 1.0. If all goes well, you will see
the final release within a week or two. The bug list now only contains
an issue relating to clustering. As such we advise you currently to not
deploy your application on a cluster, until the issues are resolved, or
to be very thorough in your clustering tests.
In this release you won't see major API changes, however the internals
have improved significantly. The request cycle has now correct
semantics, we have improved the redirect after post pattern, which now
performs significantly better than before, and allows you to do your
request handling and rendering in one pass, and then redirect to the
rendered page. CompoundModel support has improved and works with more
components than before. We added support for redirecting to external
url's (e.g. Google) directly by introducing RedirectPage.
For the complete list of fixes, updates and changes please see the
release history.
