No, but I guess we can change that. I'm not sure what you mean by tasks.

I'm unclear on the difference between a task and an event. The plans
for the next version include a kind of labeling. Where you could add a
label to an event. Just now I thought of adding comments to events, so
I put that on the todo list. If you use labels for status and comments
or the description for your notes, the only thing you're missing is
the owner. Events kind of have an owner now, but that is just the
person who created the event.

It seems to me like tasks are just a more specific version of events.
I'm trying to not add very specific features to the calendar that only
impact one set of users. If I can add the functionality you need in a
general way, then I'll do it.
