i think that's the right direction, but i've not got it working so
far...
because i've got a has_many through => relationship, i think i need to
do the extend for Assignment, not Project. But then for some reason
*nothing* i do makes any change to the Assignment form. the original
form shows up even if i do
<extend tag="form" for="Assignment">
<old-form replace>
<h1> hello? </h1>
<old-form/>
</extend>
i assume there's something about ajax sub-forms i'm not getting...
