I'd like to pitch in and help get the rails 3 release out the door. Where is help most needed? I can fix bugs, edit docs, write tutorials etc.
I've been working through the open tickets on lighthouse but it seems like the high priority stuff is mostly fixed.
+1 Me too. Maybe I've missed something obvious, but I'm not exactly sure (from looking at lighthouse tix) what others are already working on (don't want to duplicate effort) vs. what might be helpful to work on (especially any docs that need updating, etc?)
Thanks Jeff
You can help fixing issues on LightHouse yeah, but now Yehuda, Carl and Adré are putting a great effort to solve some issues on Bundler. I think now what is blocking the release is that Rails and Bundler should be delivered both together as RC and Bundler need some more work. So perhaps you can help there.
Since nobody else has brought it up, one way you can help is to verify that plugins work on 3.0, fix any issues that arise, and (most importantly) report any pain points or bugs that you find in 3.0 itself.

One particular bit of functionality that has little API docs is calling #render in the short way, like
render "new"
It's a concrete task that is needed in the docs front if you'd like to help here.
The documentation from docrails/master is periodically generated here
http://edgeapi.rubyonrails.org/
In fact, if I am not mistaken (just did some browsing and ack'ing) the docs of #render have been eaten by some refactoring vortex.
