+##22 September 2014 - Wicket WebApp now part of Nutch 2.x Codebase
+After successful completion of the first [Nutch Google Summer of Code project](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-841)
+we are pleased to announce that Nutch 2.X branch now comes packaged with a self 
+contained [Apache Wicket](http://wicket.apache.org)-based Web Application.
+
+This not only greatly lowers the barrier for direct interaction with the Nutch 2.X
+REST API but also provides a stepping stone from which we intend to backport this 
+work to the Nutch 1.X (trunk) series.
+
+Some of the Web Application features include:
+
+  * Functionality to dynamically load seed URLs in order to bootstrap Nutch crawls
+  * Browsable and dynamic editing of [Configuration overrides](http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/NutchPropertiesCompleteList)
+  * Complete [REST API documentation](https://wiki.apache.org/nutch/NutchRESTAPI) and UML
+model describing REST API calls, Administration and Job and Configuration Management.
+
+The new Web Application feature will be present within the upcoming Nutch 2.3 Release.
