Here's an alternative prototype6, which incorportates my suggestions
from prototype3 into prototype5. By merging the "open" and "scribe"
buttons into one, we could alternativily use a layout with the three
buttons in a horizontal alignment. I will post a prototype_6b soon,
which demonstrates this.

Why would the user want to open an existing review in "instant" mode?

Status in RevAger: In Progress

Bug description:
After choosing "instant review" on the startup screen (RevAger assistant), the user is offered the option to open an existing Review. But why? If there is already a saved review, this should be rather covered by the "scribe" mode already. Or is there something special about opening previous instant reviews?

Actually I think that both options offered there - the catalog manager and the "open review" function - should be part of the first screen, since they are not really mode-specific. Of course, putting all that those options in the startup screen would make it a bit too cluttered up, since we would have:

- Moderator mode
- Scribe mode
- Instant mode
- Language selection
- Catalog manager
- Open review

Maybe it would be worth considering a re-design of the first screen, i.e. offering only:

- Start new review
- Open existing review
- Open Catalog manager
- Select language

Choosing the first option would allow the user to specify the mode in the following wizard step.
