Federated Timesheets Community Group created

The Federated Timesheets Community Group has been launched:
  http://www.w3.org/community/timesh/

--------------------------------------------------

Each project has a timesheet system to track billable hours. Workers
often spend time manually filling in this data multiple times.

Instead, we’ll make time tracker apps (locally or on a self-hosted
server) expose machine-readable timesheet data through a query endpoint
(reader pull) or through a webhook (writer push).

Timesheet data is relatively simple in terms of data format, data
replication only flows in one direction, and there are not too many
identities involved in the authentication / authorization of the data
source connections.

This simplicity makes the “Federated Timesheets” project an ideal case
study for Federated Bookkeeping in general. We want to show case how our
vision of Federated Bookkeeping can make internet users “connected but
sovereign”.
