What would be great is if you could first complete the openssl part of
the rubyspec, which desperately needs some love.
Once that's done, and someone helped you out with a dev. setup, you
can use it to make sure the port works as it should.

I know OpenSSL and crypto pretty well (having spent the last 5 years

hand whilst getting a dev environment set up, I'd be willing to do
the heavy lifting for OpenSSL.

I was going to say basically that but didn't want to discourage
anyone.
So I'll say it now: OpenSSL would be a serious pain to wrap. Someone
please do it :)
BTW, there is a SWIG-based FFI generator floating around out there.
Inquire on the ruby-ffi lists.
What about creating a list somewhere of popular C extensions that we
would like to see ported? This way volunteers would have a TODO
list.
I googled a little bit but I wasn't able to find an existing list.
It looks like the Ruby-FFI official homepage is
http://kenai.com/projects/ruby-ffi/pages/Home, it does contain a
"projects using FFI" page but it's not very complete. I will
google more
and try to fix the page, first (any help is welcome :)).
Yeah, I'd say try to update there, and *anyone* interested in FFI
should
get on the ruby-ffi mailing lists and express their interest.
