Wicket search term popularity
Has anyone seen this graph of search term volumes for the various Java
frameworks.
According to this, Wicket is very popular - which we all know already ;)
http://www.google.com/trends?q=%28apache+wicket%29+|+wicket%2C+%28jboss+
seam%29%2C+%28spring+mvc%29+|+%28spring+webflow%29+|+%28spring+web+flow%
29%2C+%28struts+2%29+|+%28struts2%29&ctab=0&geo=all&geor=all&date=all&so
rt=0
It's ahead of Spring MVC and jboss seam.
Struts 2 (Would anyone actually *choose* to use a framework that
contained the word 'struts' after working with struts 1?) seems to have
had a moment in the sun but is now roughly close to Wicket.
I know basing popularity on search terms is a dangerous thing to do but
it's interesting nonetheless.

I love Martijn's unintentional suggestion of a battle-ready Ewok as the
project mascot. Who doesn't picture the "W" logo on this guy's headgear?

Wicket also acts as a harbinger of version 10.0, aka Apache Wookie.
(Doh! Just found the Wookie project, incubating since 2009.)

Yes, the wicket is a set of three stumps at each end of the pitch that they bowl the ball at to try and get the batsman out.
But aren't they searching for apache+wicket - should be ok unless the other Indians (Native American) have taken a sudden interest in playing cricket ;)

You also count all the Indians searching for a wicket (I figure it is
a score keeping metric), door enthusiasts and star wars pundits who
think that fluffy 20" teddy beers are actually capable of defeating a
elite corps.
wicket |ˈwikit| noun
1 a small door or gate, esp. one beside or in a larger one.
2 Cricket each of the sets of three stumps with two bails across the
top at either end of the pitch, defended by a batsman.
