[Dylan McCall <dylanmccall@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just edited this to be more generic :)

** Description changed:

- To add a note to an opportunity, a user currently needs to click the
- Edit button and use the new_note character input. This is not obvious
- and will probably result in the feature being missed.
+ Right now, adding a note to an opportunity, setting a difficulty level
+ or marking an opportunity Applied (see bug #581719) involves first
+ knowing that the options exist, then navigating to the unclearly
+ labelled “Edit” form.
  
- We should split the new_note stuff into its own form.
+ We should split the Edit form into a number of views for performing
+ actions on opportunities in Harvest. An opportunity should replace
+ “Edit” in its .actions element with links that directly carry out the
+ operations we need, without the user needing to load any more pages.
  
- Then, display more than one option in the actions area for each opportunity. For example, "Add note" and "Hide", each linking to a specific form.
- As an alternative (or in addition), the same link could go at the top of the opportunity-notes element.
+ For security and to make sure this works without Javascript, loading one
+ of those action views directly (without sending any POST data) should
+ lead (at least) to a confirmation form.
