Originally this was about changing start_question to be to full form, but realized that workflow is so that users don't ask duplicate questions. So changing this request to combine that functional with the main question form, using ajax to check on the title and informing (not sure how) if a similar question is found.

Haven't started looking yet, just saw uniqueness yesterday.

For UI ideas, you should definitely take a look at #19386: Automatically search for duplicate issues/questions before submitting new issue/question which is a d.o webmasters issue. My favorite way of doing a duplicate find-and-display before submit is the way bugzilla does it:
