We should be able to calculate the progress of a post by looking at the number of tasks and how of them are complete.

e.g. The post “The iPad sucks” has the following tasks:

finish initial research (done)
copy edit (done)
attach multimedia
...then the post would be considered 66% complete.

We would have notifications when a task is added, assigned, completed, a la Basecamp

Only users that the task is assigned to can complete them. However, editors and administrators will have an override capability where they can mark a task as complete.

When a post is published, it’s progress will be listed as 100%, but the tasks will remain not done (and the UI should make this an important point).

Namely for situations where auditing is important, such as a post getting published but without being copy edited.

Need something like Basecamp’s task templates, i.e. predefined set of tasks that can easily attached to a post

v1 of this feature:

* Add/edit/remove tasks
* Notifications (task created, task assigned, task completed)
* No due dates
* No templates (tasks are manually added)
* Assign to users only (no usergroups)
