Why don't you send them all to me in a zip and I'll get around to adding
them to the project.

I wrote FreeTime in 1997 as the project management tool for Clear Ink.  It
came out of a need to manage a couple clients that always gave us trouble.
We often had problems where the client asked for something, we did it, then
they denied asking for it.  FreeTime addresses this problem by keeping
communication in a central location.

FreeTime helped make timesheet entries more accurate.  Prior to using it, we
filled out paper timesheets.  After using FreeTime, we billed something like
$100K more than the previous month.

Clear Ink used FreeTime for about 3 years, then switched to Niku a few
months after I left there.  I had planned on getting it released as open
source while I was there, but I wasn't sure if it would happen after I quit.
Fortunately, a couple of people still working there (Matt Perry and Jeff
Bjorkland) worked to get it released.  We finally got it going a couple of
months ago.

As far as plans...well, I can't say I have many.  FreeTime has a few quirks
that could use some attention, but it works well as is.  I think Matt Perry
wanted to port it to PostgreSQL, but I understand he's pretty busy.  In a
world where I had unlimited time, I'd re-build it in the vision of FT2, but
that's a lot of work.

I have installed FreeTime for one client for pay.  Generally, this takes me
about half an hour, which makes it pretty cheap.

Let me know if you have any more specific questions.

Leon
