+1 all the way. I use every chance I have to spread the word about the changes JS Interop will bring to the web, but the apparent lack of engagement in the community from the people driving GWT, is giving me second thoughts.
The official blog used to be OK, but that changed when google open sourced it, and now the closest you get to official information is 6 months old videos on youtube. I believe this is already driving people away from GWT, at a time where we should be getting people back, drawn by the awesomeness of GWT 3.0.
