To summarise, for the benefit of others: Emacs' time logging software options ------------------------------------ org mode - (info "(org)Clocking work time") - Part of GNU Emacs timeclock.el - M-x timeclock-in/out/change - Part of GNU Emacs *logger.el - M-x logger - Not part of GNU Emacs worklog.el - http://wiersma.org - Not part of GNU Emacs *http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.sources/msg/16f5e0dff5f92390?output=gplain Org mode's time logging functionality is very featureful (and integrated with its TODO functionality). timeclock.el is based around the concept of a working day and will tell you how much time has elapsed, or remains, in a day, but doesn't keep a running total of time spent on a project. logger.el is _old_ and yet to be tested (by me) worklog.el is unavailable at present (Arjen Wiersma is _so_ busy, _you_ don't have time to look at his website!!! :-) Sebastian
