Guided creation of new drafts in the pollwiki

[Thomas von der Elbe]

I hit the "reply"-button, thats why my mail went to Mike privatly 
instead to the list.

So here again:

Ok, it works for me.

one thing: the diff-control "compare to candidate" work only after the 
next count, right? People will vote immidiatly and will want to try the 
compare-button. So the feedback message could be a bit clearer like: you 
had not voted at the last count 10.23. a.m.. The next count will be in 
2:12:23 (counting down). I think such a clock would be good in the 
vote-space itself too.

Plus, another bad feedback message: if there is no difference the bridge 
still says "something is wrong", right?

So does this mean, one does not really need to log into the wiki anymore?

One strange thing: if I'm logged out, the position of test-thomas is not 
visible in the table of the poll-page. Once I log in as thomasvonderelbe 
in the wiki it becomes visible.

another idea: imo it would be good to have in the top table of each 
draft as the first point: Author of this draft. The same as at the 
bottom of the page.
