Description Mik Kersten

We currently have tasklist-specific attributes (e.g. description, priority), and connector-specific attributes.  What we need instead is generic attributes for tasks, most of which will probably be key/value pairs.  This will enable the task list to have configurable columns (e.g. assigned to, reminder).  We may also want an abstraction for generic task actions (e.g. complete).

Repository tasks will probably need to include additional kinds of attributes, such as comment threads and attachments.

Let's continue with the current architecture until the Trac and Generic Web connectors stabilize some more, at which point we can consider this as part of revamping AbstractRepositoryConnector.

This is now working, as manifested by the Trac connector.  Improving the genericity and identifying a suitable schema of common attributes will be an ongoing process.
