Re: Time Logging and Team Management?

Our team actually built an entire system. This year was its trial run. It worked fine except I accidentally deleted everyone's session data midway through the season (we have backups twice a week now). We're going to do a bit of tweaking for next year and hopefully use it to accurately manage everyone's hours. It's also integrated with a forum and wiki which we were just messing around with. I'm sure Chris Jelly would be more than happy to tell you about it (mostly his project with me working on bits).

We have the barcode scanner thing, but the problem is that people forget their cards and it just seems a lot faster for everyone to type their id in as they walk in the door. I hope we can release the system once it's cleaned up a bit, but that's Jelly's decision.

EDIT: The system also has user information in it (name,team,email,phone,etc) along with any photos we got of people right in their "profile".
