My team has had a rule that all members must spend a certain number of hours at team meetings in order to be able to get out of school to go to the compition. Our system for keep track of the time students spent working on the robot was a notebook with a page for each student where the wrote the time they arrive and depart. At the end of the build season the hours would calculated and those with the required hours, about 40-60 hours, could get the days out of school with a little support from teachers to turn in class work a late. Being my teams programmer I'm always looking for things to automate and at the beginning of the year this time keeping process was one of my projects. I'm finally getting around to working on this project again and I was wondering how many other teams have similar rules, and if there are what features would you like to see in time keeping software? Would you also like project management tools for keeping track of work that needs to be done? I'm kinda new to the world of GUI design so any ideas or input in that area would also be helpful.
