Activity as slowed recently as two of the main committers (me and
Peter) are working on DGG second edition and Grails in Action
respectively. Books take time unfortunately. Once the main part of the
book writing is out the way (in a month or 2) activity will escalate
again
As for G2One we are always looking at ways to get more resources on
board for Grails, its a tricky balance supporting both the language
and the framework
Cheers
