Kimai - Easy Time Tracking for everyone

Würde mich auch freuen wenn das Projekt weiterlebt! Thanks for all u've done so far!

Now this is the worst thing I have heard lately. I am so so so happy I found kimai especially as open source software usually looks crappy and is not very nice to use. Now you announce that you will close the project - I was hoping for some more updates.

Maybe you decide different, it would be great ;)
Otherwise thanks for the great work!

We have used Kimai for over a year now. It has some quirks but used with the stats hack it has served us excellently and kept track of every hour worked for our clients.

It would be really sad if this project close down.

Thanks for all your work on Kimai, Torsten.

Schade. Aber der Schritt ist nachzuvollziehen. Dir viel Glück bei zukünfigen Projekten und vielleicht erbarmt sich ja einer/mehrere und lässt das Projekt weiterleben....

Es gab mehrere Aufrufe an den verschiedensten Stellen ... Anscheinend hat keiner Lust an diesem Projekt zu arbeiten. Wenn es nach mir gegangen wäre hätte es nicht so kommen müssen ... :(

Any possibility of someone picking it up as a sourceforge project or anything like that? Also, I noticed that a lot of the extensions appear to be code snippets in your forums, which are down. Any chance to publish all those or get access to your forums back up before you take it all down?

Thanks for a great project! I'm glad I stumbled on it before you shut it down, because it is exactly what I've been searching for.

Has anyone offered to take over stewardship of the project?

I will check with my team but we might be willing to do so. We use a lot of open source projects and have been looking for a place to give back in a meaningful way to the OS community. Updates would not be rapid but at least development would continue.

Please let me know if care and feeding for the project is already taken care and if not if there is any interest in have us take over.

Thanks,

JP

I've just found Kimai some months ago and I think it's one of the best, if not the best, opensource web based timetracking tool. In the last weeks I made some changes to it, mainly: cleaned up Javacript code, added support for tracking expenses and a filter for projects, customers and even users. In the end those were rather major changes to the code, but I think they are worth it.

If anyone takes over the development I would be glad to offer my changes and/or help with further development.

My team has discussed this and we would like to help out by continuing the development of this project. We have not received a response on this topic.

Is someone else taking over develpment of the project?

If not can we have the original team's blessing to take over stewardship of the proejct?

Thanks,

JP

Justin, I'm currently discussing a plan for stuardship with some other guy. My problem is I can't really do anything on this topic for 15 days from now because of another project. I will contact you in a while and maybe we can union a new team. I would stay in the project for the usability an design part...

later ;)

Oh man.. i just found out about Kimai and had that "this might be the one" feeling..

I haven't even used it yet, and i am already missing it... hope the project doesn't die :(

Hey Guys,

we are using Kimai for some month now! (Using: 0.7.121 at present)
The tool is great! And I keep getting back here to check for updates.
Unfortunately we are no programmer at all, so that we can't help within the project.

But I would be very glad if kimai keeps on going! I have tried some other tools before - but nothing came at least some what close to kimai.

So keep on - and maybe we can help with providing a book every one in a while...

PS. I could help out with the Website - so that real programmers can use there time working on Kimai. Let me know if you could use my help here...!

We maybe can offer to host the websites and forums of this project, to make sure that the informations won't get lost.
We use kimai too, and are also interested in a further development, at least bugfixings and security updates.
Another option we see is, to port the great app (and probably also the website and its formus and blogs) to TYPO3.

That is fine. Please let us know what the plan is when you have time. My team uses this application so much that we want to make sure the project continues to mature.

We have loaded the latest version to our repository and project management tools so we are ready to continue the project if that works and would be glad to combine efforts with another team if that makes sense. If the project is in good hands elsewhere we will step down as we would rather not see the project forked.

Thank you for letting the community know what was going on with the project and for your efforts to date.

I look forward to hearing from you when you have time.

Unfortunately to read the news that you're stopping this project.
But very happy to read that Justin and his team have plan continuing on the development.

I find it the best open source time tracking tool there is out there and have been using it a lot.

Thanks a lot Thorsten and community for all the work! I just got to know about Kimai today and quickly installed it. Had to enable PDO support for PHP, but after that, the installation process was flawless and straight forward.

Now I just logged in for the first time. The GUI looks promising, congrats! I hope the functionality will live up to this :)

Thumbs up! I definitely hope that the development will continue. Kimai has potential!
