Likewise I think Carsten has written somewhere that the time tracking setup of Sacha Chua at http://sachachua.com/wp/2007/12/30/clocking-time-with-emacs-org/ has largely been incorporated into later versions of org. So my 2 questions... - What are the diary alternatives (if any)? - What is the minimum setup to get some of (not necessarily all the bells and whistles) Sacha's time tracking stuff? Context: I may be demoing org to a corporate and ease of setup is often a bigger selling point than a zillion sophisticated possibilities
