Ah, you're right about that - it's quite confusing, clicking two links 
for the same info ;)
I believe, we should make the pages a "train" thus forcing a reading 
order to make sure the hows and whats are known.
Maybe a Wizard style <<next page>> link as a complement to the 
navigation bar would do.
Looks better now, by the way.
About the request form, I think the code behind, should deliver the task 
number as a response and save it to the database.
That way the requester, could check in to see if someone has picked up 
the task.

Sorry, I cannot code that :/
Scripts for this would exist in multitude.
Kaf had a solution for the management system, I'm sure.
Where are you?
