Changed all status to start with Uppercase letters, made 3 properties required. Changed all the status to start with Uppercase letters because they are publicly visible. Also changed required=True to False for created_by, modified_by property to allow site admin to create and modify tasks. Also changed required=True to False for history to allow history not to be written until the task is published.

"""
Pages in Django can are served up with custom HTTP headers containing useful
information about those pages -- namely, the content type and object ID.

This module contains utility functions for retrieving and doing interesting
things with these special "X-Headers" (so called because the HTTP spec demands
that custom headers are prefixed with "X-").

Next time you're at slashdot.org, watch out for X-Fry and X-Bender. :)
