I was impressed enough to contact the developer -- the normal community
tools I expect of an open source project were missing from the site.  It's
built on Mozilla, using the app-runtime XUL Runner and is a GPL project.
Coming soon it seems to http://code.google.com/p/evoluspencil

I had an immediate need to do some site map / IA work and was willing to
hack in JJG's visual vocabularly.  No support for much other than some
generic desktop UI for now.  I started a port of the VisVocab to Mozilla
SVG/XBL (a sort of "sprite" or UI ojbect in XUL) way back in '04 --
http://www.surfmind.com/musings/2004/03/11/.

IMHO, the Firefox space has been ripe for a long time..  The newish Canvas
tech is actually way over-rated, the compound DOM is much cooler (see a mix
of SVG, XUL, & HTML visualizing mouse movement
http://www.surfmind.com/masters/screens/the_making_of_a_visualization.html).
I'd hope Pencil uses this type of approach rather than Canvas.

Another new tool I haven't seen referenced here is the AdobeAIR app
(commercial): http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups/desktop  --
intentionally casual prototypes in "hand drawn style".
