I don't know if there's a more official channel, but I follow Matthew Gaudet's tweets (@MattStudies). He provides periodic updates and provides links to talks and such.

We're not at the point where we recommend anyone run it in production. We do actually run a sizable portion of Rails, but since the DB adapters are all C extensions we can't really run those yet, which practically means we can't run Rails. The distinction is we're able to run with things like the pure Ruby PostgreSQL gem (postgres-pr) and the pure Redis gem (redis).
We're making some very good progress on our C extension support. We've just recently made a successful HTTPS request running MRI's OpenSSL extension by way of Sulong [1], which is an LLVM bitcode interpreter for Graal.
If you're interested in casually following what we're up to, we now have a Twitter handle (@TruffleRuby). Or, you could always watch the GitHub project [2], since it is open source.
