Hi guys,
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's great that people are testing it, and the final release will be awesome :-)
If you are interested in contributing to the project and you do not have the time or expertise to learn the source code & contribute patches, there are still crucial things that you could do:
I have the following questions in regards to submitting code/patches:
1) Is there an Xcode project file for operating on the source?
No, there isn't.
So, you tend to do something similar the following:
1) [ create and ] execute the appropriate spec
2) edit the code
3) rake
4) if spec_passes? go to (5). Otherwise go to (2)
5) move to the next issue
2) How does properly create a patch file for submittal and should this be filed as a ticket?
I recommend using the patch functionality of the SCM you're using. If you work with SVN, you can simply change files, then:
$ svn diff > patch.diff
And you can enclose the .diff file to a Trac ticket.
.
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't run yet (but should): rspec, mocha, activesupport (that's a big one!), etc.
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?
I would prefer to have rspec working first, though :-)
Laurent, I will take a look at RSpec this week.

AFAIK nobody is working on this yet.
