Hi Severin, I think this is the sort of thing where it would be helpful for the activation working group to provide some guidance. There was previously an issue when every admin could make anyone else an admin. The idea was to have a select group of people that can make project managers. How to use this software feature in the community interactions is a different issue though. Just meaning I think it would make sense to have a small group of people that can be contacted to make tasks. They could then decide if they were going to make the tasks themselves for example in a situation where someone really wasn't going to regularly need to use the Tasking Manager or if someone should be made a project manager to manage things themselves.
