Sure.  The team is small, but passionate.

I believe so.  Many open-source projects have a Coordinator or even a PR 
person that typically fulfill this need.
Thorsten and Waldo both monitor the mail list and do a tremendous job 
communicating with the community via the forums.
We also have the Newsletter to help with communication, but the 
contributions to it have slowed over time.
If this is an interest of yours, I'm sure the effort would be welcomed.

It's been incubating for a few years, but I'm happy to report that there 
has been a lot of recent progress.
It is likely the new GUI will be a user opt-in feature - at least initially.
The sunset of the PLIB library _could_ happen relatively soon, but 
people will need to see the new GUI and react to it before we could 
commit to PLIB removal.
