question

From
Michael Meskes
Date:
I'd like to set up a system where every employee can log into an intranet
server and enter the time he/she spend on each of the projects. At the end
of the month I'd like to create a list of time per project from this data.

My idea was to use PostgreSQL as backend (of course) and a web front-end.

Does anyone have a similar system running? Or any ideas concerning how to
set this up and what software to use?

Thanks in advance.

Michael

It would seem rather trivial in PHP to do that.  I've done a number of
database routines with PostgreSQL and PHP and most of 'em end up as less
than a page of code (including blank lines).

Try onShore TimeSheet, which uses PostgreSQL -- www.onshoretimesheet.org

That's the kind of answer I expected. But I still hope I can get along with
less programming on my part. :-)

Right, but the reason I suggested doing it that way is something as small
as this is usually quicker to do it yourself than installing a package.
Alot of the packages that should be simple (and probably are) end up taking
3-4 hours to figure out, install and setup and may not fit the bill vs an 
hour or so knocking something out that would be exactly what you want.

It's doubly amusing that you suggest this, since the author, like
Michael himself, is a Debian developer. :-)
