Mini-beta and redesign of Crossforum Theatre

[Michael Allan]

The Wicket count pages (votespace and rank) are now on stage:

(hit refresh if it looks funny)

That completes the staging portion of the mini-beta.  What remains is
automated draft creation, single sign-on and mini-votespace.

The last is an interesting puzzle.  Here's the current mini-votespace
in the context of a draft page (scroll to see it, it's floating left):

Here's my revised design, shown in the context of the bridge (4):

It isn't good enough.

One thing that *doesn't* seem to work in the embedded context of
drafts and differences, where its afloat in a sea of text, is more
text:
         Li. Cs. Ro. Wi.  -->  Ge. Ol. Ev. Tr. Kr. Ly.  -->  Fr.
                                           Am. Sa. Cu.

I think we need pure graphics.  If we could distill the essense of
this http://zelea.com/project/votorola/s/gwt/scene/vote/_/3.xht and
transfer it to the drafts and difference bridge, that would be ideal.
The overlapping radials make beautiful use of space.  One glance and
you know where you are in the tree.
