Well, right now we only have a Manager role, which

Roles are still a Task.

Notification is not automatized yet. This is also a Task.

This is a special case of notification.

I don't see how such an interface could be done.

Right.

This is already possible on the member page.

Personalization should be a Task.

I guess we should add some Tasks and sort them by Priority.

I guess we don't directly want something from the members.
The ZDP site is especially for people who want to share information
with other people, and this can be done in the easiest fashion by
becoming a member.

Right.
