Hm… nothing springs to mind right away. The filters UI is tuned to be
tinkered with, so hopefully it can become more natural with additional
tinkering, but of course that isn't ideal. Would it help if we made it
clear what packages are selected, maybe above the results? (“15 packages
from core and ubuntu-desktop”).

The Packages filter group might be a little counter-intuitive right now,
since it's filtering down from the set of ALL packages instead of adding
packages to an empty set (and there is nothing to say where all those
packages came from). The original mockup had a pair of radio buttons to
select the initial set (All packages, All I can upload, All I'm bug
contact for). As we add Launchpad integration, it would be nice to add
that radio group as well. Perhaps it would help explain what's going on.

I am probably not a great authority on Harvest's learnability, though,
since I've been so involved in gluing it together. Maybe we can go poke
some design people :)

Title:
  filters not entirely obvious how to use

Status in Harvest Service:
  New

Bug description:
  Since the default Harvest page starts with certain filters, I don't
  find it obvious (especially as a new user) how to successfully change
  the filters. For example, clicking on a filter in Opportunities
  doesn't clear the default packages filter, so it looks like there are
  no available things to work on.

  I'm not sure exactly what to change to make it better, though...
