A few of us :)

It's not very active. Most of the Cocoa Ruby stuff is happening with MacRuby.

RubyCocoa works only with 1.8. MacRuby is based on 1.9; perhaps you'd
have luck with it. (The API is a little different from RubyCocoa,
unfortunately.)

Its mailing list is at
http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel . Matt
Aimonetti is working on a book (for O'Reilly); what he has so far is
at http://macruby.labs.oreilly.com/ .

Good luck!
