Well they did announce the switch when 1.2 was released in the blog entry: http://blog.mootools.net/2008/6/12/mootools-1-2-it-s-official. The forum wasn't holding up, so instead of supporting third party forum software they looked for an alternative.
I know there is a lot of activity with mootools at github. Lots of issues are being addressed slated for 1.2.1. I have also seen where enhancements and some structural changes are going to be made by 1.3. A timeline has not been defined but I recall reading that they want to spend their time and not rush anything something like 3-4 months for 1.3. The core developers are still very active. Tom Occhino gave a presentation at Fronteers part of it covering Mootools. Harald's site is still an excellent resource ( http://digitarald.de/ ). Jan Kassens has started a blog with some really good advance topics ( http://blog.kassens.net/ ). He even has a area setup for some great mootools code ( http://mootools.kassens.net/). http://www.consideropen.com/ has been doing a 30 days of mootools tutorial. While I agree that it would be nice to have a centralized hub for all things moo. We have to work with what we have right now. I know that there is work in place to get some kind of plugin repository up, so things are likely to improve over time. I think we all need to be a little patient and do what we can to nurture the community.
