Hi Bernd, hi Koen

I don't want to start over old discussions again but since I missed it what was the outcome of this diskussion? Was this the on about the question if task names should be unique or not?

When coding and using for example taskService.completeTask(taskId, outcome) I somehow don't feel comfortable to use this long name even with spaces since transition names need to be unique for one task so they name is a kind of identifier or even a signal name to take this specific transition.

Furthermore to facilate development of clients using the engine I would like to use a a kind of convention for transition names. For example after tasks which implement a user's decision which path to take in the process I'd prefer to give the same names to the transitions in different processes but a process specific description or long name for the transition. I hope I was able to point out my aspects.

cheers
Sebastian
