I think once 2.8 is out the door we should definitely pursue setting up some projects to tackle the things that won't be in J2CL. This will really help a lot to alleviate many peoples fears, especially those with large projects that use Widgets, UiBinder etc.
There has been a lot of vague talk about the future up to this point and to be honest, talk is cheap. We need some real action. I think if there are smaller independent projects that are maintained in Github and don't need to use Gerrit, you will get way more people contributing. The good thing is that these new projects could potentially be used with 2.8 and allow people to start the migration process sooner rather than later. I guess the first steps would be to define what needs to be extracted from GWT core and define the goals/non-goals for each project. Our company is definitely interested in: Basic Widget support for evergreen browsers and IE 11 (we only use Widget and a few of the base panel classes) Resource bundles/ GSS UiBinder. We will be wiling to help make these projects a reality.
