pollwiki - area specific domain names

[Thomas von der Elbe]

Well, I realized, that even if the name-thing was possible, that there 
is another hook: all the settings, the menue on the left, etc. are going 
to be unchangeable for these organizations. Which makes it quite a bit 
less attractive to them, I guess. I have to check this out first.
