Raphaël JavaScript Library

Raphaël is a small JavaScript library to create vector graphics on the web. Raphaël uses the SVG W3C Recommendation and VML as a base for creating graphics. This means every graphical object created is also a DOM object, so one can attach JavaScript event handlers or modify it later. It is written by Dmitry Baranovskiy and released under the MIt license. It currently runs on Firefox 3.0+, Safari 3.0+, Chrome 5.0+, Opera 9.5+ and Internet Explorer 6.0+.

This looks like an easy to use JS library. It is SVG based, so it is widely supported. It could potentially be used as a base to create a new drawing editor for TWiki.

Longer term, HTML5 Canvas based libraries might be more flexible.
