Don't wait! :)

AFAIK, there are no more planned syntactic changes before 1.0. (just library changes and some minor semantic changes)

Also, with Rustup (http://doc.rust-lang.org/guide.html#installing-rust), it is very easy to stay current with the latest rust.

With the holidays coming around the corner, now is the perfect time to dive in!

I wouldn't count on this. :) The bar for breaking changes will continue to rise as we approach 1.0, but until that stable release is cut nothing is safe. Even the upcoming 1.0.0-alpha release in January will contain no concrete guarantee of syntax stability.

I second this 100%! Jump in, you won't regret it! The rust guide is a great place to start: http://doc.rust-lang.org/guide.html

The folks on the IRC channel are supper helpful too. Don't be afraid to ask!
