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).

.. [#f1] It should be noted that even though it is designed with OpenStack
integration in mind, and that is where most of its *current*
integration is it aims to be generally usable and useful in any
project.
