worktime's Issues

Remove border between hour and minutes

Less chartjunk

Remove surrounding borders on tables

Less chartjunk

Legend

Typical entries:

• Briefing
• Meeting
• @ Email
• Self-study
• \d+ Bug ID
• X Out of office

Responsibilities section

AKA "Running tasks"; a table like Tasks for stuff that needs to be done whenever possible / necessary.

Put it above Notes.

Grayer background for low-priority tasks/responsibilities

Have to figure out how long the steps should be, for example #FCFCFC for the second row, #F9F9F9 for the third etc..

Spacing between Tasks rows?

More whitespace might be more easily editable.
Make sure border-top is none.

Avoid zero padding for weeks

Should display "(week 1)", not "(week 01)".

Space to summarize hours

The Total column is too small to fit a calculation (which should anyway be vertical to fit the Western addition scheme).

Example:

id	Time
1	Σ
2	Σ
3	Σ

.worktime configuration file

Name, email, responsibilities, core hours, everyday log items (like public transport).

All configuration options should be parameters as well.

YAML looks like a good option - Possible to export from Python objects, no extra installation, possibility for complex configuration.

Summary line for task time?

10-minute prefixes in Log

Should print 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in minute rows to make it even easier to both edit and to get an overview of how long tasks took. Assumes that no tasks are less than 10 minutes, which may or may not be justified. Should therefore be optional, but default.

Import from CSV/iCal/hCal

Should be able to understand at least some standard formats to auto-fill the pages.

Need to be flexible with the number of lines: Perhaps try to keep two empty lines below the given tasks until a certain number.

Vertical timeline instead of table for log?

Could simply use tick marks.

JavaScript version with this work week

Borderless printing

Should find a way to print borderless straight to PDF.

Remove Total column?

Can't really summarize in the small space; might be more useful to just leave that to the Notes part.

Include browser settings file to enable identical printing

Should use very small or zero margins, A4, include background images + colors, convert color to grayscale (there is no color, but maybe it prevents printers from mixing them to emulate gray), no header/footer.

Summary tables for several tasks

Maybe this is more useful than a single line for each task - Use a T-shaped table with task on top and hh:mm below, extensible to 4-5 lines per task (including summary line).

Only float the left table

The left section should have only the table (and perhaps the copyright notice), while the right should be non-floated for easier design.

Line numbering in tasks?

Could be used for reference

Footer font is only scaled on first page
