Changed the property that holds the minimum age required for Students to participate in a GHOP based program.
Added a new property student_min_age_as_of to hold the DateTime from when the minimum age should be reached. Changed student_min_age property to now store the student minimum age as an integer.
This all feel more user friendly then letting the program admin calculate the required DateTime. Storing the two properties is then still needed in this case since information might be lost otherwise when the program admin brings up the edit view.

Authenticating against Django's user database from Apache
=========================================================
Since keeping multiple authentication databases in sync is a common problem when
dealing with Apache, you can configuring Apache to authenticate against Django's
`authentication system`_ directly. For example, you could:
* Serve static/media files directly from Apache only to authenticated users.
* Authenticate access to a Subversion_ repository against Django users with
a certain permission.
* Allow certain users to connect to a WebDAV share created with mod_dav_.
Configuring Apache
==================
To check against Django's authorization database from a Apache configuration
file, you'll need to use mod_python's ``PythonAuthenHandler`` directive along
with the standard ``Auth*`` and ``Require`` directives::
<Location /example/>
AuthType basic
AuthName "example.com"
Require valid-user
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings
PythonAuthenHandler django.contrib.auth.handlers.modpython
</Location>
By default, the authentication handler will limit access to the ``/example/``
location to users marked as staff members. You can use a set of
``PythonOption`` directives to modify this behavior:
================================ =========================================
``PythonOption`` Explanation
================================ =========================================
``DjangoRequireStaffStatus`` If set to ``on`` only "staff" users (i.e.
those with the ``is_staff`` flag set)
will be allowed.
Defaults to ``on``.
``DjangoRequireSuperuserStatus`` If set to ``on`` only superusers (i.e.
those with the ``is_superuser`` flag set)
will be allowed.
Defaults to ``off``.
``DjangoPermissionName`` The name of a permission to require for
access. See `custom permissions`_ for
more information.
By default no specific permission will be
required.
================================ =========================================
Note that sometimes ``SetEnv`` doesn't play well in this mod_python
configuration, for reasons unknown. If you're having problems getting
mod_python to recognize your ``DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE``, you can set it using
``PythonOption`` instead of ``SetEnv``. Therefore, these two Apache directives
are equivalent::
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings
PythonOption DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings
