Comment	> When working on multiple projects simultaneously, it's tedious and > somewhat impractical to track hours one entry at a time. Instead, a > more convenient way is to keep the hours in a spreadsheet (Excel, > Open Office, hand-edited CSV, etc.), then bulk upload those hours all > at once. > > > > For example, I might work on 10-30 issues (tracked in Whups) in a > given day, and in no particular order. It's only at the end of the > day that I really know how many hours accumulated on all the issues. > So, a natural use would be to accumulate in a spreadsheet then upload > all at once. > > > > Two other reasons exist for bulk uploading: (1) you work off-line > ("disconnected") and only reconcile your changes when you're in range > of a network, and (2) you want to upload historically tracked hours > to bootstrap your hermes database. > > > > Before I go off and implement this, is there a model already in some > Horde project that I can review?
