TimeTracker release alpha zero ultra

without comments

On our work, we have to use a crappy Delphi program called “TimeKeeper”, to point out what we were doing, how much time we spent on a project and so on. As it is a Windows application, I can’t use it on Linux (and it sucks as a Windows application — well, any Windows application suck, anyway).

So I decided to write my own time keeper, using Python. The result is TimeTracker and it just suck a little less. There still some very rough edges and the code deserves a good clean up before a formal release (read “freshmeat announcement”) but I’m doing an informal release of a very alpha code. You are free to use it, modify it, break it and call it names.

Missing parts: put a GPL notice in the tarball, nicer output on screen, reports and fix the thousands bugs it still has (I did a try on a Windows box and they cropped like crazy).

As soon as I get sure that it isn’t losing any data, a formal release will appear. Also, I’ll move my Bazaar repository to CScience.org, it will made available to everyone.

Edit 1: I moved the repositories to CScience.org. If you want to access them, there are instructions on my homepage.
