Hey Daniel I'm very happy to hear back from Google on this forum and wish to point out that it has to be very important for Google to follow this group in order to share updates etc. Stackoverflow is an external site which is great for code fragment sharing, but it's not a great place to discuss about specific technology in general which should be discussed on a Google hosted Group/Forum.
If you would follow what the other large cloud provider is doing with its forum you would immediately recognize the importance of having a provider <> client/developer relationship. We ourselves are supported by Google Premier Support, hence we direct many questions directly to Google's support staff, which so far has been able to solve most of the issues we discovered. However there for sure are many developers out there who select a platform, based on their own judgment on how active the provider <> client/developer relationship is maintained in forums. If there is zero support/feedback by the provider, those clients might opt for another cloud provider without investigating further your solution. >From a feature perspective, Google should really complete the integration of PHP. Since its integration there's *the* key-service missing which is DataStore. Yes, it is accessible via API's, but that's not the same as the native direct datastore access we requested in: https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=9931 I'm really looking forward for Google to finally complete this integration, so we can migrate additional workloads using DataStore over to GAE/PHP. Many of our projects are using Datastore through Java at the moment, but Java isn't the preferred language on our recent projects, which more and more are done in PHP.
