+{% block content %}
+    A task is an entity that people can work on and get pynts for their work. Every task has credits which are given to
+    users working on the task. A task is created by a privileged user and he becomes a 
+    mentor <sup><a href="/about/mentor/" target="_blank">learn more</a></sup> for the task. 
+    The task if open, can be claimed by other users if they would like to work on the task.<br /><br />
+    
+    The task can be claimed by submitting a proposal in the view claims page. The link to view claims page is available on the task page. 
+    By claiming the task, you are actually proposing that you would like to do the task and hence the mentor of the task will 
+    be given an option to choose you for the task. A user can only submit one claim per task. But if a user is assigned a task
+     and for some reason, is removed from the task later on, he can submit a second claim requesting to continue working on the task.<br /><br />
+    
+    A task can also have subtasks and dependencies.
+    The task can only be calimed when it is open for people to work on. If the link is unavailable it implies that the task is locked 
+    since it has subtasks or it has dependencies that are not complete or the task is closed or the task is complete.<br /><br />

+{% endblock %}
+{% block content %}
+    The task is created by a user and will start life in unpublished state. The creator has all rights over the task. The task in this
+    stage will be visible only to the creator. He can anyways request other users to view and review the task. Then the requested user
+    can view the task untill he does not reply to the request. If the user accepts the request, he can view, edit and comment on the task.
+    The user can also add/remove subtasks or dependencies. If he rejects the request he is just like other users and cannot view the task.
+    When the creator decides the task is ready to be published, he publishes the task. Through out this phase,
+    the creator of the task can delete the task at any point in time.
+    <br /><br />
+    
+     If the task survives and is published, the task is available to be viewed by all the users. The task cannot be edited after this
+     point but subtasks/dependencies can be added/removed. If the task has subtasks, the task is locked forever. It implies that the task
+     cannot be claimed by anyone and exists only to show all of its subtasks in one place.<br /><br />
+     If a task has dependencies, the task is locked untill all of its dependencies are completed. If all its dependencies are completed,
+     the task is open for claims and can be claimed by users.
+     If a task has neither subtasks nor dependencies, it is open as well and users claim the task. Any of the mentors can select user(s) 
+     from the claimed users to work on the task . Dependencies can be added/removed only untill a user is selected to work on the task. This is due
+     to the fact that user had a chance to claim when the task had no dependencies or all its dependencies were satisfied.
+     Also selecting a user to work on the task implies the task has all its dependencies satisfied.<br /><br />
+     
+     During the working stage of task, a mentor can request assign of pynts to users working on task or the mentors. The assign pynts link 
+     will be available to mentor on the task page. If there are no users working, the mentor can request assign of credits to himself
+     or one of the other mentors, who ever has done work on the task. Even if there are no users working on task, if there is a 
+     request for assign of credits to the task implies that someone has worked on the task and hence dependencies cannot be 
+     added after that.<br /><br />
+     
+     After a considerable amount of work has been done and all the users and mentors have been assigned pynts properly, any mentor in the
+     task can mark the task as complete. The link is available on assign pynts page just in case
+     the mentor wants to assign more pynts before marking the task as complete.<br/>
+     If a mentor feels that the task is invalid or decides to delete the task, he will not be allowed to do it. Instead he can close the task
+     by providing a closing message. The link to close task will be available to mentors on the task page itself.<br /><br/>
+     
+     Now all this can be done by any of the mentors and hence think twice before you request a user to mentor the task.
