wxruby development - Feb 2012 - What is the proper process to start updating wxRuby ?

I guess I am asking permission. I''ve read the wiki and while not a  
complete newb, I am very rusty so thought to get feedback here first.  
Rusty as in I still code a lot in my day job but it is for industrial  
projects and I''ve completely forgot how to submit diff patches ;p

My goal in coming here is that I''d like to help upgrade wxRuby to work
with wxWidgets 2.9.3 as that project heads to a 3.0 release. ruby  
itself is in stable relase 1.9.3 with 2.0 being worked on now (gems  
still want 1.9.1 bleh). I''ve struggled a little getting wxRuby 2.01  
working on an x86_64 Ubuntu 11.10. It works but wxRuby is on the cusp  
of not so I''d like to make a svn branch taking the wxRuby revison up  
to 2.9.3 and propose keeping it in version synch with the wxWidget  
project.

I''m also posting here with some hope perhaps an team member may  
already have a lot of this complete or willing to share insight on the  
wxRuby process for a good place to start, eg. first get wxFrame  
working then, ignore wxSock etc. I''m perverse enough to doggedly go  
through the scripts myself but it will take me a long time - will  
probably be on wxWidgets rev 3.2 by then, heh.

Thank you all for your time in sharing wxRuby with us.
