That's a good point. The task I have been using as my guide has a sequential set of activities, where one must be completed before the next is revealed.

There are two types of task activity packet. One for completed and 'in progress' tasks which sends the details of the goal, and progress toward completion.

The second type is really just a placeholder, which consists just of an Activity Number, but no details of what the task is. These show up as ??? in the Task Journal.

It would be easy to alter the table and code to add a predecessor activity field. I know, (and you can see from the example in my first post), that it is possible to have more than one activity in progress displayed at the same time.

As for your other points, I skimmed over them, but they sound interesting, and I will look them over again and see what's possible as I continue to implement the system
