We've used the task list to provide the users with a unified task list;
now we've added specific types of tasks. The intranet displays tasks
lists and the normal task information but it also looks at the kind of
the task and displays additional fields based on the kind, those
additional fields are then stored in properties. Intranet forms are
also used to drive the creation of different kinds of tasks, making sure
the creating user provides the necessary bits of information.
We aren't using 'kind' as a human-readable value which I would think
keywords should be.
