The `work in progress', you can see what is going on with it here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/rubycocoa/src/ChangeLog? 
view=markup

It is probably shorthand for it will be coming in the next release,  
so if you can wait: wait.

If you can't wait, you can get it, but be prepared for some work  
getting it there, and the danger that there are extra bugs in the  
working copy, and the problem that fewer people use it and so won't  
be able to help as much.

I think it comes with OS X.  Go to the command line and try cvs

The commands to get a copy from cvs is:

cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/rubycocoa login

Just press return when it asks for a password, then do:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/rubycocoa  
co -P src

Then something like
cd src
ruby install.rb config
ruby install.rb setup
sudo ruby install.rb install

Be prepared for this not to work first time, as there are probably a  
bunch of things that it needs in order to compile which you will need  
to track down (I haven't done it in a while so I'm not sure what they  
are).
