'''Old Description:''' The Naming Alert is loved by some and despised by others. This enhancement makes it be available on demand from the <strike>activity toolbar</strike> Frame instead of automatically imposed when closing an activity. The goal is to encourage more writing and reflection throughout the activity, not just at the end.

'''New Description:''' The Naming Alert is loved by some and despised by others. This enhancement replaces it with a mechanism whereby notes can be added to the description field on demand from within an activity. Note that the only other user-midifiable fields in the Extended View of a Journal entry are Title, Tags, and Star (Favorite). ~~The~~ title has a mechanism for changing it in the toolbar already. There is a separate [[proposal for modifying tags]]. By using the same mechanism as the Alerts, it is non-modal and doesn't interfere with the action of the activity itself. The goal remains to encourage more writing and reflection throughout the activity, not just at the end.

* Should it be folded into activity.py for all activities or just a mechanism reserved for activity authors who want this feature?

* Should it be optional and/or the default behavior?

* Should there be a separate mechanism for jumping to the Journal entry of an activity? (Again, a possible use of the Bulliten Board key).
