Thanks for working on this and the patch. I have one minor addition because we do not need to relay on the selfexplanatory feature of the tasks file. Instead we might refer to http://blends.alioth.debian.org/blends/ch-sentinel.en.html which hopefully explains all the fields. BTW, I once invented the name "Web sentinel" for the tasks pages, but never really used this term - should we replace it in the doc by something else? To name it just tasks files is wrong because we have also bugs pages and I plan to do even more. Any suggestions?
