I think I figured out how to get sass 3.1 installed with compass. (wasn't that hard, but had to learn about RubyGems).
On ubuntu I just ran: sudo gem install compass -v 0.11.beta.1 --pre It looks like that grabbed the latest Sass 3.1 alpha and the compass 0.11 beta. I am still trying to find updated documentation.
