Niels, +1 for the concept.
Have you considered a different name? The term "workflow" is used for a variety of different purposes, including business workflows, and systems for orchestrating collections of services. For example, there are many scientific workflow management systems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_(computational_biology) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Taverna https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler_scientific_workflow_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_workflow_system What is the scope of your module? Does your module only schedule tasks or batches of tasks? Will it wait for task completion? Can tasks trigger other tasks? Are all the tasks local? Can tasks be invoked with parameters? Will the module manage or record task output? A module name like "scheduled-task" might be suitable if that is the main functionality that it provides. Also, how are tasks specified? Kind regards, Ben.
