	~~==About==~~
	~~[[WorkFerret]] (WF) is an application for tracking billable work done for different clients, generating invoices, and recording payments. It is essentially a special-purpose [[accounts receivable]].~~
	~~==History==~~
	WF was originally written in [[MS Access 97]], and ported to PHP as a [[MediaWiki extension]] sometime around 2005-2010. The code was first posted on [[GitHub]] in May 2015 (see [[#Links]]). As of 2017 I am porting it as a [[Ferreteria]] drop-in module.
	~~===Features===~~
	* Ways of entering work done:
	** Stopwatch for timing a work session
	** Manually correct start/stop times
	** Manually enter adjustments to work session total (add or subtract)
	*** e.g. to allow for distractions (minus), or forgetting to start the clock at first (plus)
	** Manually enter start or stop times
	** Manually enter total time in session
	** Manually enter flat amount to charge
	* Allows different hourly rates
	** Keeps track of which rates are used for which clients (with client-specific description)
	** Global rates also listed for all clients
	* Invoice generation
	** keeps track of which sessions have been invoiced to prevent double-billing for a session
	** automatically totals session costs, doing whatever math is needed
	** formats as HTML table (copy/paste into word processor document with letterhead)
	~~===Future===~~
	* Generate complete invoice (currently requires existing document to use as a template, copy/paste data from browser into doc)
	* Sync with payments in [[FinanceFerret]] (using a pre-designated category or equity account)
	~~==Technical==~~
	* [[/tables]]
	~~==Links==~~
	* '''Repository''': WorkFerret is now part of the '''{{l/wooz~~\|Greenmine~~}}~~''' project~~
	* [[wooz:WorkFerret\|portfolio page]]
	* [http://rm.vbz.net/projects/workferret project on VBZ Redmine] ([http://bugs.hypertwins.org/projects/work-ferret old])
