[VOTE] Graduate Apache Wicket from the incubator

[Martijn Dashorst]

Dear Incubator,

The Wicket podling respectfully requests the Incubator to consider
its graduation to a Top Level Project. Please vote on recommending
the attached draft board resolution.

The vote will end in 72 hours, 1900 hours CET sunday 27-May-2007.

[ ] +1 Recommend to the board to establish Apache Wicket
[ ] -1 Do not recommend establishing Apache Wicket because...

The community vote for proposing the graduation can be found at:
        http://www.nabble.com/forum/ViewPost.jtp?post=10697484&framed=y

The Wicket community was already diverse when it entered the incubator, and
has grown even more diverse by adding 3 additional members to its core.

In the months following the incubation the Wicket community has resolved
several licensing issues, and overcame a very drastic change in the future of
the project (scrapping a future direction of the framework).

During the process of incubation, the PPMC learned how to govern itself,
voting in new committers and PPMC members.

Mentors offered invaluable advice and assistance in getting the project set up
and settled in the Apache infrastructure. Their guidance has helped the
project mature and follow Apache community principles even more than it
already did.

During the incubation the Wicket project has issued one release.

The incubator checklist web page for Wicket can be found at:
        http://incubator.apache.org/projects/wicket.html

The proposed resolution for establishing the Apache Wicket project:

The Wicket graduation vote passed with 13 binding +1 votes, no
non-binding, 0 or -1's. I hope the 13 votes will not spell doom for
our project: the new word for today is Triskaidekaphobia [1]

I will send a message to the board to consider the recommendation at
the next board meeting.

The following votes were recorded +1 in favor of recommending to the
board that Wicket be graduated to a Top Level Project. Please see the
vote thread at [2] starting with [3].

 * Niclas Hedhman (IPMC)
 * Don Brown (IPMC)
 * Bertrand Delacretaz (IPMC, mentor)
 * Upayavira (IPMC, mentor)
 * Carsten Ziegeler (IPMC)
 * Leo Simons (IPMC)
 * Justin Erenkrantz (IPMC)

 * Craig L. Russell (IPMC)
 * Robert Burell Donkin (IPMC)
 * Martin van den Bemt (IPMC)
 * Jean T. Anderson (IPMC)
