Both easy to read and somewhat informative.

BTW: today I contacted two of the developers of wxRuby ( Kevin Smith /
Curt Hibbs ), they said they move the stuff to rubyforge after which
an alpha release is to be expected soon.  In terms of deadlines they
were actually more concrete.  But I do not dare to repeat them here,
on pain of confronting them with their own deadline in public.

If you use Dave Thomas' one-click installer (VC++ build) you may in
the meantime play with Park Heesob's Ruby 1.6.x / 1.8.x MsWin32 build
of wxRuby.  I did, and most (but not all) of the widgets and demo's
work.
