# Take a task

{% embed url="<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h2dEJ7-aRTa1QWQyMWW395F2_FXbVokW/view?usp=sharing>" %}

After the task manager has accepted your application, you have the option to take the task. If you decide to take the task, you cannot back out freely. In case you do not complete the task, this will be shown in the statistics on your profile.

After you have taken the task you can start working on it. Cancelling the task will require both your and the task manager's confirmation from here on.

{% hint style="info" %}
Task taking is done on a first come first serve basis. If you wait too long to take the task, it is possible that someone else will do it before you.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openmesh.network/open-source-initiatives/openr-and-d/getting-started/perform-tasks/take-a-task.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
