@ -71,18 +71,59 @@ To see the currently active interval:
$ timew
(not yet determined)
Reporting tracked time can be done with a simple report:
$ timew report today
$ timew report week Home
$ timew report summary last week
(sample output not available)
Some early report mockups:

Or the data can be exported in JSON:
$ timew export last month > February.json
Some or all of the reports are written using an extension mechanism, and
will be examples of how to write other reports. Report extensions can be shared
and enhanced by the community. It shoudl be possible to implement any kind of
report using the extension mechanism.
There is an 'undo' command for reversing changes, and a 'clear' command to
free up a slot:
$ timew clear yesterday
$ timew clear 8am - 11am
You can start, stop and resume tracking:
$ timew start Training
...
$ timew stop
...
$ timew continue
There is also a rules system that can impose constraints on the data, such as
automatically shutting off tracking after 40 hours is tracked per week, warnings
about overtime, and more.
There is built-in configuration support, logging, and assorted tools to help
you enact policy.
The data will be stored as plain text, and there will a way to merge data from
multiple sources.
