List Descriptions

User list

If you have a question regarding how to do something in your application, then typically you should join the user list. There are over 500 subscribers to that list, across different timezones, so probably your question will be answered within a hour or so, sometimes even within minutes.

Development list

If you want to join in the discussions about the future of the framework, or at least keep aprised of the future then you should join the development list.

Announcement list

If you want to learn about special events or releases then you should subscribe to the announcements list. The announcements typically also go to the other lists.

Commit list

If you want to see what is happening in our code base and you enjoy receiving code diffs in your inbox, then the commit list is a match made in heaven.

IRC

Several of the core committers are not only very active on the various lists, they also actively participate in the Wicket IRC channel at the freenode servers. You can join us at the following irc channel: ##wicket@irc.freenode.net (note the double # character).

The IRC channel is very lively and not only discusses Wicket related things, however it is very helpful and also one of the more active Java related channels on freenode.

Committers and PMC members

Wicket has had a steady list of committers from the start of the project, ever since Jonathan Locke made Wicket open source in 2004.
