I've tried not to use "task" in this section of the docs, but in this particular place, I'm not sure that "app" would make sense.

This sounds better. As it is, we've used app/task pretty interchangeably. Though I tend to refer to an app executing on a worker as a task.

4. Where will you run the main Parsl program, given that you already have determined where the apps will run? | ||

It's not clear to the reader what happens over a channel. Is this where inputs and outputs are passed? containerized apps? files? I'm not sure where we explain this, but it would be useful to probably say a little more here.

I'm not sure if that level of detail is necessary/useful to the user while deciding what config pieces to use.

@danielskatz agreed, but can you split this off into either a PR which adds the proposed content or an issue to remind us to add these details? We don't want to hold up merging your nice improvements above by waiting on more work to be done.
