We've got some great news! GForge AS v6.4.3 was released yesterday and we are working with all of our hosted customers to schedule an upgrade. 
This upgrade is a bit more important than others because we anticipate this will be the last release in the 6.x series before we release GForgeNEXT.
Having your system running v6.4.3 will ensure the upgrade, when it is available, will go smooth.  
To see what's changed in v6.4.3 please read v6.4.3 - ChangeLog

Regarding GForgeNEXT, right now we expect a beta release sometime around Q2 and Q3 this year with the final release ready by Q3/Q4 sometime.  
I know you have a lot of questions and we don't have all the answers, however, we did put together this GForgeNEXT FAQ

What we need from you is to send us a couple of dates that would work for upgrading your hosted GForge instance(s). 
Once we hear back we will work with you to finalize the date.

• Projects - Review project insight.
  • #794 is on hold, archive it -> This is out-of-the box functionality for Confluence.
    • Motion: "To archive project #794, but include the functionality 'restricted access' in a Confluence Pilot." Wayne/JD 6/0/0
  • #992 is on hold, archive it
    • Motion: "To archive project #992, notify education workgroup." JD/Wayne 6/0/0
    • Dave will contact Education workgroup about this.
  • #1032: on hold
    • Motion: "Keep project #1032 on hold" Dave/Michael 5/0/0 (JD left the room)
  • #1064: on hold
    • Motion: "Close project #1064 and create a new project witch incorporates recommendations from Lorraine Constable project #1303." Wayne/Dave 5/0/0
