I pushed a change now which supports the new effort durations. However
this change is NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE. Previously the exporter assumed
that effort estimates such as '2' meant 2 days. It now assumes that you
are talking about 2 minutes. In order to get the same result when
exporting change plain effort estimates such as '2' to '2d'. M-x
query-replace-regexp should get you there.
The info file is updated. I need to fix the tutorial on worg.
Thanks
Christian
