WP-Polls Administration Panel Update

I think it is time for me to update WP-Polls Administration Panel as the code hasn’t been change much since WordPress 1.5.2.

Things I have in mind:
» AJAX used for almost everything with the exception of Adding/Editing Poll and Uninstallation Of WP-Polls
» Adding Poll will have its own tab rather than in Manage Poll Tab
» Uninstall Poll will also have its own tab rather than in Manage Poll Tab

The deleting of polls under the Manage Poll Tab will be something like when you delete WordPress categories, those fanciful fading will be included =)
