Re: [Usability] [Ayatana] Sketching and Prototyping with a Firefox Addon

[Andreas Nilsson <nisses mail home se>]

To make sure the new developers will have a hard time in case the original developer of the mockups get hit by a bus? :)
Personally, I tend to stick to pen and paper for my mockups.

Jokes aside, if anyone needs help with graphics for sketch-alike widgets to stick on a canvas, I'm more than happy to help!

Fwiw, Balsamiq gives out free licenses to open source projects.

I have the same sentiments. Pencil is nice, but not as polished as Balsamiq. I use Balsamiq al the time (at work and play). A native version would be great because Adobe Air isn't the smoothest thing on Linux. One of the things that I'm not comfortable with is the lack of ctrl+c on Balsamiq on Ubuntu, which works fine on Windows.

I've tried Pencil and had very little luck.

While it's not open source, I recommend Balsamiq Mockups (an AIR app).
We should build a native, free clone of it :)
