Mosquito: A Visual Web Testing Tool, Like Watir, But For OS X?

Mosquito

Mosquito is a new, automatable, testing tool that uses RubyCocoa and OS X to perform Web operations and take screenshots of each point along the way. It's a little like the Windows-only Watir. I can see the technology used by Mosquito also being useful for automating Web operations even without the testing focus.

    It's possible I am stupid and can't find the link, but is there actually code for this anywhere?
