Tried out using a modal 'lightbox' style dialog for the new next action form on the home page (I'm using the scripts written by Bruno of [http://blog.feedmarker.com/2006/02/12/how-to-make-better-modal-windows-with-lightbox/ Feedmarker]).

Instead of opening up a form on the main page, clicking the 'Add new action' link (or hitting Alt/Ctrl N) opens up an overlay window, with a semi-transparent window underneath. You can add as many actions as you like by filling in the forms and hitting submit, then when you're done, click the close box or the shaded overlay area to dismiss the window.

It works very well on Safari, but for some reason, on my copy of Firefox, the cursor is invisible.

My plan is to also allow deferred actions to be added using this form, and eventually set up editing of existing actions to use the same format.
