DoTime
by Saimon Moore
http://rubyforge.org/projects/dotime/
== DESCRIPTION:
This is a cheap time tracking substitute for those of us who can't afford the
extra cash (or believe all basecamp projects require time tracking) for
Basecamp (http://www.basecamphq.com) plans
with the time tracking feature.
How it works:
DoTime cheats by keeping track of the time worked on a todo within the todo itself.
It specifies a text format to keep track of the elapsed hours and then just updates it as necessary.
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
* easy to use single-key menu navigation
* start/stop timers (even in parallel but that's naughty ;) by selecting a todo's position in the list
* 'space' key start/stops next available todo
* 'enter' key completes currently running todo
* complete a specific todo if more than one todo is currently running
* change project/todo lists at any time
* refresh currently selected list to get changes from server
* Automatically filters projects/lists & todos for the current logged in user.
* elapsed time indication per todo/per list
== TODOS:
* Show total elapsed time per project
* Show running timer for running tasks.
* Update tasks every x minutes
* For future bc api versions allow all
* people involved in a project to access tasks.
* (This will make find_logged_in_user redundant)
* Refactor code to get todo-list with todos
* Make OS independant (Linux & Macs work, check Windows)
* Make space bar also do:
* - start last running task if not completed (missing, it now just starts running the first task again)
* - start next task if previous one completed (not tested)
* Add 'working' indicator between long waits
== SYNOPSYS:
dotime basecamp_login basecamp_password basecamp_account_url
(Then just follow the menu options)
== REQUIREMENTS:
* xml-simple >= 1.0.8
* highline >= 1.2.1
== INSTALL:
* sudo gem install dotime -y
