tasks

[ryepes]

I have a custom object called resources. The resource has a set number of allocated hours for the week. One task can be assigned to one resource for a given time. I need to be able to

#1 set the number of hours  a resource can have in a week

#2 set the number of hours a task should be done in

#3 deduct the number of hours a resource has - the number of hours of tasks associated to that person

#4 the resource has a start and end time for the week, the task start and end date should be within those hours or else the resource cannot be assigned

I need help with #3 and #4. I know tasks are very limited in what can be done with them... any ideas on what i can do here?
