Considerations

Things to consider before (and during) development and integration with TaskFlow into your project:

• Read over the paradigm shifts and engage the team in IRC (or via the openstack-dev mailing list) if these need more explanation (prefix [TaskFlow] to your emails subject to get an even faster response).
• Follow (or at least attempt to follow) some of the established best practices (feel free to add your own suggested best practices).

Warning

External usage of internal helpers and other internal utility functions and modules should be kept to a minimum as these may be altered, refactored or moved without notice. If you are unsure whether to use a function, class, or module, please ask (see above).
