These are only ideas. Some of them may not be implemented though. There will be a separate Roadmap page that will have only the ideas on which we agreed.
To be approved an idea has to be discussed first in dev@ mailing list. A patch and/or Pull Request increases the chance to get your idea in.
Make use of Java 8 features wherever it makes sense.
See: https://github.com/klopfdreh/wicket-components-playground/wiki/20.-HTML5-OfflineMode Implementation on hold (with ServiceWorker)
Also See: https://github.com/wicketstuff/core/tree/master/offline-mode-parent (Integration into Wicketstuff - with example)
Stays in wicketstuff repo as long as there is not enough browser support (http://caniuse.com/#feat=serviceworkers)
Expose hooks for better monitoring.
For example an integration with something like https://dropwizard.github.io/metrics/3.1.0/
Think of a way of encoding the page id so that it doesn't "pollute" the url.
Some applications currently need to use NoVersionMapper (e.g. Apache OpenMeetings) to avoid it.
Support for basic video / audio capture for example.
Media Components ()
Generic resource reference to handle with media files located at the file system of the server (out of the box) (also for Wicket 7)
We could provide native integration with different web containers to make use of their HTTP2 Push support, e.g. Tomcat 8.5+ provides org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationPushBuilder.
Possible implementation is to add code similar to httpRequest.getPushBuilder().path(encodedUrl).push() to org.apache.wicket.markup.head.JavaScriptHeaderItem#internalRenderJavaScriptReference().
The problem is how to decide whether to push a resource or not, because the browser may already have it cached, so the push will be a waste of bandwidth (https://http2.github.io/faq/#how-can-i-use-http2-server-push).

Status
Tomcat: https://github.com/apache/wicket/tree/master/wicket-experimental/wicket-http2/wicket-http2-tomcat (Mailing list request: https://www.mail-archive.com/users@tomcat.apache.org/msg121670.html)
Jetty: https://github.com/apache/wicket/tree/master/wicket-experimental/wicket-http2/wicket-http2-jetty
Undertow: https://github.com/apache/wicket/tree/master/wicket-experimental/wicket-http2/wicket-http2-undertow
Implementation
https://github.com/apache/wicket/tree/master/wicket-experimental/wicket-http2
Note
When the official servlet 4.0 API has been finished and all servers are using it this line of code: https://github.com/apache/wicket/blob/master/wicket-experimental/wicket-http2/wicket-http2-core/src/main/java/org/apache/wicket/http2/markup/head/PushHeaderItem.java#L91 has to be changed to the standard interface
Take inspiration from JUnit 5 and improve WicketTester & Co.
StreamView
A component similar to ListView but using java.util.stream.Stream instead of java.util.List as a model object.
The idea is to be as lazy as possible. At render time the Stream will be "collected".
