Is there a reliable guide online for converting a Rails 2 app to Rails 3?

I have a Rails 2 application and I'm looking into converting it to use Rails 3.

Does there exist somewhere a coherent, accurate, and up-to-date text document (not a screencast) along the lines of "How to Convert a Rails 2.x Application to Rails 3"?

Or even just, "A General Guide to Converting an Application from Rails 2.x to Rails 3 Covering the Issues You'll Need To Consider and the Common Pitfalls".

(The problem with screencasts and their transcripts is that they're very difficult to update, so they don't get updated and they rapidly become unreliable.)

No, because every application is different. The Rails 3 Upgrade Handbook will get you started, as will the rails_upgrade plugin.
