First of all, I must say I like pencil.
I looked at all (I think) of the other dashboards, and pencil is the only one that comes close to what I`m after.
I was almost tempted to start yet another dashboard :)

now, to the point:
pencil is not dynamic enough:
1. changes to yaml graph/dashboard files only takes effect after restarting pencil.
2. new servers only appear in the dropdown after a pencil restart.

as for the configuration files:
its worth checking the last modified and automatically reload them when they change.

regarding the servers list, I think you should timeout the cache after a while.
