As community we should do something. In my opinion the communication is pretty poor and should be improved. GWT is "too blackbox" in my opinion, because of the reasons I stated before.
Its as open as any other open source project.
But if the communication is fine, it's just a matter of the interest of the developer in viewing commit logs, so what's the problem then? Don't tell me everything is fine - a forum with threads asking if the framework is dead isn't a sign that everything is fine.
These threads appear because GWT has communicated release dates in the past and did not meet them for a long time. So these people then think nobody is working on GWT anymore and they don't take a look at the sources I have linked above to rethink their statement. Personally I believe these threads will instantly disappear if GWT would do automated, regular releases from master branch for the people relying on releases. The rest probably uses master branch of GWT anyway because its very stable (as Thomas said, Google continuously builds software from master branches).
What makes a framework live, the commits on a repository or the community behind it?
Actually the commits, because I would never use a framework nobody is working on to improve it.
