I'm looking forward for that too :)

Here is my current action plan:
1) Run watirspec against watir with ruby 1.9.3
2) Add more guards if they make sense OR implement watir code to make the
spec pass

I'm having currently 175 failures out of 1003. Since Watir doesn't conform
to the API of WatirSpec in full extent then i have to do changes which are
not backwards compatible. Having that and Semantic Versioning (
http://semver.org/) in mind, i'd say that the next version number for Watir
should be 3.0.

I'd also suggest to delete current unit tests for Watir when specs are
passing, because it could take some time to change these tests to pass
after all changes due to incompatibilities and having them around doesn't
make much sense. I think if there should be watir specific tests then these
could be done by using RSpec also.

And when it comes to 3.1 then one idea would be to remove firewatir and
commonwatir code so there would be only watir gem. Anyone knows who holds
the username "watir" in github currently?

I guess having compatibility between Watir-WebDriver is worth these
changes. What do you guys think?
