I think I would not invest too much work into the current documentation. 

I strongly believe we should create a team of 2-3 people that re-think a 
new TOC along with a description what content each TOC entry should contain 
and then write up a new, up-to-date documentation for the 2.8 branch and 
later one for the 3.0+ branch. Without having a thought-out plan about the 
documentation I think GWT will never have great documentation. We need some 
people responsible for documentation.

Given your above proposal I think it is too much to remove. I would keep 
the whole Ajax section and maybe just update the content a bit (it is 
interesting for people coming from Swing, PHP is valid if you want to host 
some simple stuff on any web host like the stock watcher example, RPC is 
old but a valid choice because there is no suitable alternative inside GWT 
SDK). Tutorials -> Junit is also fine as its part of the stock watcher 
example app. Basically the whole "Tutorials" item is based on the stock 
watcher app and should not be treated as single tutorials. 

Also I think the GWT + Hibernate article is still valid (even for other JPA 
providers like Eclipselink which we use at work).

What I would definitely remove are:
- the GAE stuff
- all case studies
- developer spotlight (and then combine the remaining community pages under 
the Resources -> Community section)
- from the Examples page the Notes example as well as every example that is 
closed source and can not be easily tested in the browser right away 
(instead maybe use something like "these companies use GWT as well: ...")
- all presentations. Instead I would link up GWT.create 
presentations/videos and if some interesting stuff is missing you already 
know a session for the next GWT.create.
- all old books and all books not dealing with GWT proper (= no related 
books)
