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"
