 Doodle clone. 100% duplication of Doodle functionality. Modifications to improve usability as necessary.
 
+### Pitfalls to avoid
+
 What do people not like about Doodle?
 
 * Too much clicking
+ * We can deal with this by collapsing the three-page wizard Doodle has into a single page. Be careful not to sacrifice too much simplicity for such a setup.
 * No obvious "I can, but would rather not"
+ * Alleviated also by the above; this might want to be the default poll setup.
