Extension talk:GettingStarted

What does the extension actually do?
Could someone please add a description of what the extension actually does? Looking at the system message linked from the description it looks like the special page just transcludes w:en:Template:Opentask-short which in turn is updated by a bot? How is the special page different from a normal page with the template in it? I'm very confused. --Nemo 20:38, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
