Here is a link for the source of the tasks: https://ethresear.ch/t/a-general-framework-of-overhead-and-finality-time-in-sharding-and-a-proposal/1638/11. Vitalik said:

I would recommend at this point continuing to build at least:

  • The capability of having 100 separate shard p2p networks, and building and sending collations across those networks [see #7 for P2P sub protocol messages]
  • The ability to read logs emitted by an SMC
  • The ability to send transactions that call an addHeader function of the SMC
  • The ability for a client to maintain a database of which collation roots it has downloaded the full body for
  • The ability of a validator to (i) log in, (ii) detect that it has been randomly sampled, switch to the right p2p network, and start doing stuff, (iii) log out

The sharding phase 1 spec is deprecated. https://ethresear.ch/t/sharding-phase-1-spec-retired. Here is the reason why: https://ethresear.ch/t/exploring-the-proposer-collator-split/1632.
