If interested I posted an example of how I lazily build a WxRuby
interface for an app. Here’s the link via DZone:

Interesting approach.
Just some comments on wxRuby usage or style :
1/ You don’t need to supply -1 as the ID parameter for a Window (-1 or
Wx::ID_ANY is already the default value).
For a window, the only mandatory parameter is the parent window (the
first parameter).
=>
def notebook
@notebook ||= (
notebook = Wx::Notebook.new(frame_panel)
frame_sizer.add(notebook, 1, Wx::GROW)
notebook
)
end
2/ Wx::Bitmap is smart enough to guess the bitmap type based on the
file extension (OK, it’s not well documented but I’ll fix that).
Wx::Toolbar has also the add_item method which support keyword
arguments (and it’s well documented) :
@search_start_tool = toolbar.add_tool(-1, ‘Start’ ,
Wx::Bitmap.new(DIR + ‘/images/search.gif’,
Wx::BITMAP_TYPE_GIF), ‘Start’)
=>
@search_start_tool = toolbar.add_item(Wx::Bitmap.new(DIR +
‘/images/search.gif’), :label => ‘Start’, :short_help => ‘Start’)
Cheers.

Thanks. The approach really helped me wrap my head around WxRuby
better.
frame_sizer.add(notebook, 1, Wx::GROW) Wx::Bitmap.new(DIR + '/images/search.gif',Wx::BITMAP_TYPE_GIF), ‘Start’)
=>
@search_start_tool = toolbar.add_item(Wx::Bitmap.new(DIR +
‘/images/search.gif’), :label => ‘Start’, :short_help => ‘Start’)
Nice tips. I’ll apply those.
Thanks for taking at look at this.

Perhaps I’m still too lazy for this 
But your approaching is cool

Late to the link, but thanks for posting this. I think the approach is
interesting and instructive so I added it to the tutorials page on the
wiki.
Another shortcut you can use:
Wx::VBoxSizer.new
instead of
Wx::BoxSizer.new(Wx::VERTICAL)

Thanks, I updated the post to use this.
Btw, just for completeness sake, the Controller class should also have
this method:
def sites ; service.sites ; end
