Hmm?  I don't understand the question.
Each OASIS specification is seperate; you can't hichhike on the WPs
definition IIRC.
If you can specify what you mean maybe David can answer since he's the
actual contact for the WPs specification.

You need a taskmanager to schedule time, right? :P

I have no knowledge of TaskJuggler except that I heard the current
maintainers discussing possible integration.  But as far as I know nothing
happened just yet.
Feel free to look through the archives of both lists.

Please note that while I coded the initial classes and structures, I have
not touched the code in ages and Shaheed and Dag are the last ones to
actually maintain the application.

That said; I'm pretty sure that you can follow up on the integration
issues without to much of a problem.
The OASIS stuff is probably going to take more coordination, and I doubt
the registration is free, so a much more in depth knowledge of the content
and the alternative solutions would be something i suggest before you
actually start any initiative.
