+Provide a web form or wizard that allows the administrator to:
+ * Specify the task input data source.
+  * Note: The actual connection to the data source, and the process of reading from it, should be isolated.
+    This is not specific to this project -- reading from a remote feed can be used for many purposes.
+    Here, we could assume that the data is being placed in one or more database tables, or in files on
+    the server.
+  * Most commonly each task will operate on one item of data -- assume this to start.
+ * Provide instructions for workers.
+ * Specify what worker skills are needed.
+ * Specify the format of the results, e.g.:
+  * Text input.
+  * Radio buttons or exclusive select from a list.
+  * Multi-select boxes or list.
+  * Combo-box, i.e. either exclusive or multi-select, but also allow adding a new option.
+  * Selection of locations on a map.
+ * Advanced setup:
+  * Allow specifying form layout.
+  * Multiple data sources.
