At Code RGV we need a way to track our tasks. This bot does so, and makes our lives better™.

There are three models: Task, User, and Channel. The Collections model helps with multiple of the models in a set (list). Out of the three only User and Channel are located within the root of the storage. The tasks are part of a channel. Tasks may refer to users.
User and Channel are also part of Slack data. We do our best to pull the data from Slack, and reflect it locally.
Third issue is that data saved may not include all data we'd like (we're being agile). So the models should accept previous use, and accept new use. E.g. user's name were not available, and can be found by asking the Slack api. Model should lookup and save when available without affecting business logic.
As it stands, all the models initialize the data to conform to current use. Specific properties (e.g. name) are promise type interfaces.
