As described by Bill Kee, Google’s Associate Product Marketing Manager, this blog will function pretty much as you’d expect; it’s “where we’ll keep you up to date on latest from the Gmail team,” he states.

It just occurred to me that we haven’t seen any fresh Gmail developments in a while; perhaps Kee has something specific in mind.

“We’ll post feature updates, productivity tips, and some insights into the people and the technology behind Gmail,” he continues.  “And since Gmail works even better with Google Calendar and Docs & Spreadsheets, you’ll find posts from folks on these teams as well.”

I should inform you that, at the moment, you won’t find posts from anyone – Kee’s message is the only one that’s been published.  That’ll change, though, and Kee writes, “[W]e look forward to sharing some of the fun and crazy things we’re up to around the office.”

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a soon-to-come announcement and upgrade (whatever it might be), and that’s a likely scenario.  The last post on the Google Gears API Blog dates to June 11, however, so – just to be safe – don’t hold your breath.
