Left my comments in https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/taskflow-mistral.

@Changbin, I think the most interesting section for you is “What’s Different”. 
Thanks. Hope this helps. If it doesn’t then let us know your specific questions.

@Joshua, thanks for your input on architecture. At a high-level it makes sense. 
We need to keep discussing it and switch to details. For that reason, like I 
said before, we want to create a very very simple taskflow based prototype (in 
progress). Then we’ll have a chance to think how to evolve TaskFlow properly so 
that it fits Mistral needs.
