Github labels - what is a 'task'?

I would like to use ‘task’ to tag issues that are suitable for someone outside the core team/s to start working on e.g. someone interested or training could pick up and play with, that nothing the core team is working on is dependent on. Would this work? I notice that quite a few UK issues are also tagged ‘task’ so I’m not sure if it has another meaning in your head @pmackay?

For me “task” was just representing smaller bits of work that need to be done to complete a story.

ah ha. ok, I’ll think of another label - maybe available? is there something that might conventionally be used for this purpose?
