Hi Chris, 

I did not have the time yet to make a formal proposal but here's what I would like to discuss in the group as a first brainstorm for a 'maintenance task'. 

maintenance task = specialisation of task 
Specialisation concentrates mainly on the prereq element. Proposal is to make multiple specialised instantiations of this element. 

<task> 
        <title> 
        <taskbody>         
                <prereq tools>                tools required, for each tool : partnumber, description, brand, image. 
                                        (Benefit : should allow automatic extraction of a tool list for a given set of tasks.) 
                <prereq parts>                parts required, for each part : quantity, partnumber, description, price, brand, image 
                                        (Benefit : should allow automatic extraction of a parts list for a given set of tasks) 
                <prereq time>                time required, for each task  : hours, minutes, seconds 
                                        (Benefit : should allow automatic calculation of time needed for a given set of tasks) 
                <prereq skill level>        skill level for task 
                                        (Benefit : should allow automatic extraction of all tasks for a given skill level) 
                <prereq tasks>                (list of) task(s) you must have done before doing this task 
                                        (Benefit : should allow automatic extraction of workflows by analysing the prereq and postreq tasks) 
                <context> 
                <steps> 
                        <step> 
                                <cmd> 
                                        allow p element 
                                <info> 
                                <choices> 
                        </step> 
                </steps> 
                <postreq tasks>                (list of) task(s) you must do after you have done this task 
                                        (Benefit : should allow automatic extraction of workflows by analysing the prereq and postreq tasks) 
        </taskbody> 
</task> 

Best regards, 

Patrick
