+Models
+~~~~~~
+- `Task` and `Schedule` are Django Models and can therefore be managed by your own code.
+- `Task` objects are only created after an async package has been executed.
+-  A `Schedule` creates a new async package for every execution and thus an unique `Task`
+- `Success` and `Failure` are convenient proxy models of `Task`
+
+
+Testing
+-------
+
+To run the tests you will need `py.test <http://pytest.org/latest/>`__ and `pytest-django <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-django>`__
