When i clicked the task, it appears to be assigned to ernie (the initiator) as to be expected from the process definition.

This is an oversight on my part - I'm pulling the assigned actor from the TaskCreateLog entry.  Apparently the actor ID is always null here (the actor ID isn't assigned until the subsequent TaskAssignLog entry).  I'll just pull the actor ID from the task itself, that way it won't be wrong.

As far as redirecting to the task form: That's a navigation bit that I've left undone.  In my estimation, users probably want to go to the task form directly, but managers may want to see the task list to know that there are (or are not) other tasks for other users.  When the SEs give their feedback, I'll have to assemble a list of criteria that I use to choose how navigation goes.

As far as the tasklist goes: what I've implemented isn't really a user task list, it's really a "manager" task list , with all tasks for all users being listed.  This is something else that will be changed I expect.  I think that in the end, both variations will exist, but one will be chosen based upon user role; or perhaps the manager version will be in a separate set of screens and the manager will have access to both.  I can easily split it out though.

The group task list still needs more testing.
