As for a timeline, the last "story" arc ended on May 22nd. 300-302 would have been the 23rd, and 303-308 are all about one day each. Last chapter was a school day, so we're probably around May 31st at this point. That leaves a little less then two weeks until the flashforward, but ugh. I'm kinda hoping we skip ahead a little soon. That said, we don't really know what this weeks chapter is about other then excessive Maria fanservice and Hata poking fun at himself. Quote:

I'm willing to wait and see how things are going to play out, even if it does mean more filler chapters.

I find HnG littered more with random slice of life chapters filled with 4th wall breaking and references than I do with actual plot. I don't think I remember anything important happening other than meeting every character and Hayate's past and present with Athena.

The meetings with Athena were the variant of the series.

I believe Wataru's arc of the Golden Week adventure was this, used because Hata was actually too sick to come up with new material.

Oh... I think that makes sense. It's also a better move than just taking a break, I think.
Hell, I still remember the CLAMP team getting a break every 5 issues with Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. Hell... that was annoying.

It'd be the same, though. If he already had these chapters prepared in advance as a just in case, then that means he's probably taking a break right now.
But I think he's brought this upon himself for adding to many elements on one single arc. The whole deal with Luca and Yozora already seemed fishy, and then, to boot he added Athena, who is pretty much Miss Plot Device. And then he's put a bunch of characters living together. I think it's just too much for one arc.

Things with Luca and Yozora you could see hints to further events, but Alice doesn't seem to have any, and seems to be countering her own motives besides.

Yeah, even though she's my favourite character, I've got to admit her appearance in this arc came, basically, out of nowhere, especially when the plot with Luca had just started to move. It's funny because she showed up on the same chapter in which we got the popularity polls, if I remember correctly.
At first, I thought she'd be related to this arc's plot, but seeing the current chapters, I'm starting to have doubts on that. Hopefully, Hata will prove me wrong, but well, we'll have to see, I guess. Well, it isn't as if Alice has done much either. In fact, one could either argue she's done nothing to affect the plot so far.

I don't think she had or could since Hata even admitted that he's lost with this arc currently (?). I hope that he already had plans for Alice, and didn't introduced her for the fans, since he did say that Alice's appearance was coincidental with the result of the poll. Anyway, with the three months period to level up in the Hata Universe, it will take eternity for Alice to be able to do something meaningful...(Hope I'm wrong)
