+task-list
+===========
+Simple utility library for managing a list of tasks and their lifecycle.
+
+## Installation
+```bash
+npm install task-list --save
+```
+
+## Overview
+A task list is created from an array of objects. Each object has a `start`
+function and an optional `stop` function. Both of these functions should expect
+a callback argument that should be invoked when the operation completes.
+Operations can be called on the task list and if a logger was provided
+in the config then the current activity will be logged via the given logger.
+
+## Usage
+Simple example with minimal configuration:
+```javascript
+var serviceList = taskList.create([
+    {
+        name: 'service1',
+
+        start: function(callback) {
+            task1Started = true;
+            callback();
+        },
+
+        stop: function(callback) {
+            task1Started = false;
+            callback();
+        }
+    },
+
+    {
+        name: 'service2',
+
+        start: function(callback) {
+            task2Started = true;
+            callback();
+        },
+
+        stop: function(callback) {
+            task2Started = false;
+            callback();
+        }
+    }
+]);
+
+serviceList.startAll(function(err) {
+    if (err) {
+        // some error occurred
+    } else {
+        // services are running
+    }
+
+    // now stop the services
+    serviceList.stopAll(function(err) {
+        if (err) {
+            // one or more services failed to stop
+        } else {
+            // all services stopped successfully
+        }
+    });
+});
+```
+
+An example that provides a `logger`:
+```javascript
+var serviceList = taskList.create({
+    logger: {
+        info: function(message) {
+            console.log('INFO: ' + message);
+        },
+
+        success: function(message) {
+            console.log('SUCCESS: ' + message);
+        },
+
+        error: function(message) {
+            console.error('ERROR: ' + message);
+        }
+    },
+
+    tasks: [
+        {
+            name: 'task1',
+
+            start: function(callback) {
+                // do something
+                callback();
+            },
+
+            stop: function(callback) {
+                callback();
+            }
+        },
+
+        {
+            name: 'task2',
+
+            start: function(callback) {
+                // do something
+                callback();
+            },
+
+            stop: function(callback) {
+                callback();
+            }
+        }
+    ]
+});
+```
