I note that, given a test login the 'candidacy' tab seems to lead to nothing
obviously useful.  I had expected that it would list at least a number of
candidates that could be chosen (although this list might be better placed
simply within the 'vote' tab), although giving links to the relevant wiki
drafts would also, obviously, be useful (but these might again just be 
placed within the 'vote' tab).

What actually happens is that I get the following link:

http://t.zelea.com/wiki/User:Zelea.com_test-[aliasname]/p-2009-71-1

which leads to precisely nothing.  If the intent is to describe my own drafts,
this might make sense, but it would be useful, I think, to also have somewhere
a more complete list of candidate drafts or addresses that could be voted on.
(Or at least a link to the draft recently seen.)

(Your suggestion of providing an overview of the cascade flow might subsume the
above, if the overview provided were to extend to a set of drafts including the
draft recently viewed by the user at the Wiki.)
