Bug Description

Currently (trunk, r20) RevAger starts the normal scribe view after selecting the "Instant Review" button on the start screen and entering the attendees. Actually, this was not our intention. A typical scenario for this mode could be:

A: "Bob, could you please review my new website proposal? Here's the URL: ...."
B: "Sure thing. I'll fire up RevAger in a minute, and will send you my prototocol with the findings in the next 20 minutes"

Now, Bob should enter only the really necessary Information in RevAger:
- his Name (the contact information should allowed to be empty)
- name and version of the artifact he reviews
- Review aspect catalog (i.e. code review, specification review, website review, car review ....)

RevAger should automatically auto-complete the missing information with sensible defaults:
- Role's and names of the attendees (Bob is Reviewer, moderator and scribe in one person, Author is not present)
- Starting time (=now)
- Sessions (one session, this is the one that already started)
- Review Aspects (all from the chosen catalogue)
- Review name (some sensible default)
- Location (Bob's work environment)

So after entering the really required information, RevAger should immidiately jump into the session's view, where Bob can start entering the Findings. In this case, Bob might want to Pause/Save the review (which is not yet supported in this mode, according to Davide).

Therefore I guess we need two blueprints to realize this Feature Request:
- Enable Saving withing a session
- Redesign "Instant mode" wizard and its workflow

In general, I think 'instant reviews' can be considered 'normal' reviews with some predefined settings (as proposed by Daniel). This should be reflected in RevAger (e.g. instant review protocols should behave like 'normal' protocols etc.).
