Grails: A Quick-Start Guide: Ajax-Enabled Checkboxes in Grails

In Grails: A Quick-Start Guide, we have a task list to help TekEvent organizers and volunteers keep track of what's left to be done for their event. It's pretty handy, but it could be a bit easier to use.

Specifically, it would be great if we didn't have to click on a task to open the show view and then click again to edit it, just to mark a task as completed. What would be really nifty is if we could mark a task as completed by clicking on a simple checkbox. And it turns out that Grails provides an Ajax tag - - that's just what we need.
