Is that normal? > Yep. That means only that you're willing to queue a task named "nr_arts_per_journal" and that task should "launch" the art_pp function (meaning that you have a def art_pp() somewhere in your app)

I suspect I should enter the app name there. > By default tasks are entered in an "applicationname/controller" form. This allows to execute eventual conditional models in the right way (i.e. when you queue the task from test.py controller, conditional models in models/test/ folder will be executed). You don't have to worry about this field normally because it's filled by default even when you queue tasks not using appadmin > 2.
