Hi Miguel,

Keep in mind that the most important thing is NOT the drawing, but the integration with the wiki. 
Generic web drawing applications are nice toys, but will never be more than toys. The goal is to 
have the features of the wiki in a drawing application. Before going further, you should start 
thinking about how should you use the wiki behind the drawing.
