Hi guys,<br>
<br>
Things are shaping pretty nicely in trunk and we expect to release the second beta in a few days. We receive bug reports every day, it&#39;s great that people are testing it, and the final release will be awesome :-)<br>

<br>
If you are interested in contributing to the project and you do not have the time or expertise to learn the source code &amp; contribute patches, there are still crucial things that you could do:<br></blockquote><div><br>
</div><div>I have the following questions in regards to submitting code/patches:</div><div><br></div><div>1)  Is there an Xcode project file for operating on the source?</div><div><br></div><div>2)  How does properly create a patch file for submittal and should this be filed as a ticket?</div>

1) Test as many Ruby code (gems, libraries) as possible with MacRuby and report us feedback, if the code crashes, runs slowly or leaks all your memory. If you report a runtime crash, it would be even better if you could take the time to reduce the problem into a few lines of Ruby, this saves us (well, me :)) time. Things we don&#39;t run yet (but should): rspec, mocha, activesupport (that&#39;s a big one!), etc.<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, activesupport is keeping from playing with activemodel at the moment.  Also, RSpec, at the absolute minimum, would be a great addition to the MacRuby project.  Is anyone working on activesupport at the moment?</div>
<div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

2) Write Cocoa samples! MacRuby ships with a few samples but we desperately need more &amp; better ones. If you play with MacRuby to do Cocoa development and use a specific framework/feature, it would be awesome if you could contribute it back as a sample application. Things we do not cover in samples: core data, bindings, opengl, many Cocoa classes, etc.<br>

<br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">3) Document your experience as part of a website tutorial or recipe. We are trying to build a &quot;documentation center&quot; for MacRuby resources at <a href="http://www.macruby.org/documentation.html" target="_blank">http://www.macruby.org/documentation.html</a> and we desperately need more content. Contributing new or enhancing existing content would be greatly appreciated.<br>

<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
