It appears, by the tab order, that Milestones are "below" tasks, since they are to the right in tab order. Just a UI thing.

For example, for a web design project, you would probably have these milestones:
1. Design Concept/Creative Brief
2. Execute Design
3. Execute Layout and Backend
4. Local Testing
5. Deployment
6. Testing on Live Site
7. Project Closed

And within each, you would have several tasks and subtasks. At least that's how I'm using it currentlyl. :-)

For instance, milestone Beta launch can have two task lists:

1. Prepare product with following tasks:

- build product using build tool
- package version for Windows
- package version for Mac
- test if whole process is working on Windows
- test if whole process is working on Mac
...

2. Announce beta version with tasks:

- write and post announcement on company blog
- upload packages
- update download page
- update releases page
- update homepage to show the most recent version

Milestone <> Task list relation is optional to give more flexibility to the system.

Can anyone explain how the Tasks /Milestones processes fit together.

I can't get any logic out of the process nor can my testers.

I am not a Base Camp user and am not interested in their offering and can't find much there anyway.

So is there a how to that exists anywhere?
