.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
.I GnoTime
is a simple combination of a stopwatch, a to-do-list organizer and 
time-keeping/billing system.   
.PP
In its simplest mode of operation,
as a stopwatch, it simply counts the number of elapsed seconds
while the timer is running.  Unlike ordinary stopwatches, it will
keep a log of each time that the timer was started and stopped.
The log, or 'journal', can be annotated with comments, allowing
a diary of events to be kept.  
.PP
.I GnoTime
functions as a billing system by allowing you to assign a 
value to an hour's worth of time.  
You can specify overtime, double-overtime rates and fixed 
flat-fees.  Individual chunks of time as 'billable', 'not-billable', 'no-charge', 'hold', and so on.
.PP
.I GnoTime 
can also be used as a simple to-do list tracker.
You can assign an urgency as well as an importance to a given 
project, assign an estimated start and end date, specify a 
sizing and a percent-complete value.  Clicking on column headings 
will sort the list in the order of that column.
.PP
Custom reports can be created using standard 
.I HTML 
enhanced with embedded
.I Scheme 
(a 
.I LISP
-like programming language).
