IMHO current organization is pretty good, docs in the official page, news in google+, question and issues in Google groups and you can always chat with the community in ##gwt. All this 4 places are easy to contribute, so if you see less info and news is just because the community is not very news friendly ;). And! I don't think this is bad at all. Maybe is only motivated by the evolution of GWT, which start as a web framework but now a days is more a java2js transpiler (at least is the more important and evolving part, and I think than most of the work by the committee is in the compiler side of GWT), and I think that front-end communities are just more likely to share lot of cool things than compiler communities.
You probably find a lot of more cool things in the gxt, vaadin or errai blogs, which are front end frameworks.
If you want to see 'not so cool' but much more technical interenting news you just subscribe to this feed https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/commits/master.atom
At least, that's how I see it... ;)
On the other hand, I also think that exists some level of confusion/misinformation, but it's not a critical situation and if you spent some time in google groups, gerrit or github you end up knowing exactly what's happening (doubts to google+ and ##irc).

There is no clear status of the next release or when it can be expected or what are the blockers on the Contributor forum here.
GWT 2.8 milestone on GitHub is only 14%, there are only 3 closed issues and the last release of GWT is almost a year now and only 1 person appears to be working on the next release planned features if those issues are the plan because there is no other apparent plan that has been laid out that I can find accessible.
There is no promotion on the main GWT site of the only currently scheduled GWT conference and the normally already scheduled GWT.create conference, there is no chatter about.
There is no promotion on the main GWT site of the only currently scheduled GWT conference and the normally already scheduled GWT.create conference, there is no chatter about.Conference organizers are probably the ones who should promote their conference; GWT core contributors don't have time for that. But anyone can promote the conferences, anywhere.The web site is open to contributions <http://www.gwtproject.org/makinggwtbetter.html#webpage> and it just happens that nobody (organizers, or anyone in the community) proposed (pull request or even just an issue) to promote the conference on the site.

I Never minded to ask for a note in the site, actually there's not a section for news on gwtproject and asking for a note on the front page was too much promotional.
