abec918a8 Merge pull request #291 from rachfop/fix-grammar
a597f9ce9 Fixes grammar, typos, and spellings
00ffaf067 Assure that when something goes wrong calling a service task that we get as much good information about the problem as possible.
c044b5646 Fix that dreadful unknown "KeyError" exception that was cropping up. Adding a bit of detail to the spiffworkflow exceptions when a duplicate process model is found. Disable the submit button on tasks after you click submit (avoid the double click and give users a better experience)
