Redmine Time Tracker plugin

Time tracker is a Redmine plugin to ease time tracking when working on an issue. The plugin allows to start/stop a timer on a per user basis. The timer can be started with or without any reference to a Redmine Issue. If you track multiple timelogs without Issue references, you are able to reference Issues later.

Later versions of the plugin will give you a better overview through statistics and add the possabillity to generate invoices. It will be individual adjustable for every user and seperate includable for any project.

Main features to track time referring to an issue should work allready. The advanced features are going to be implemented soon. My goal is to have a release with all main-features within the next two month (that means till 08/2012)

Features
