    108
    11  * instead of adding hours only via ticket fields, there is a separate view for managing ticket hours. `/hours/<ticket number>` displays the accrued hours for a particular ticket with a timeline-like view, but should also allow adding of new hours (by default, on "today", but this should be changeable via dropdown menus for day, month, year, etc), editing previously entered hours (amount, date, description) and deleting previously alloted hours if you have the appropriate permissions (`TICKET_ADD_HOURS` for your own hours, `TRAC_ADMIN` for the hours of others).   
    12  * a management and query view is at `/hours`.  This view displays the hours for all tickets for a given time period (last week, by default) in a way that combines the query interface for querying tickets and the timeline display for hours on the tickets in the time period. Query filters are available to find hours for people, hours for tickets of a certain component, etc.   
    13  * hours are uniquely assigned to tickets and people
    14  * hours may have a description, which should be displayed in the applicable views;  if a description is provided, the hours and description are logged to ticket comments
    15  * Tickets have links to `/hours/<ticket number>` as the total hours field so that a user can add and view hours for the ticket

    1715Hour tracking and estimation is most useful when the following questions can be answered:
     
    2220 * How much time is a developer committed to over the next time period?
    2321
    24 If we put hour estimates on tickets, assign tickets to people, associate
    25 tickets with milestones, and give milestones due dates, !TracHours can generate reports to answer those questions.

    66 The TracHoursPlugin exports RSS from the `/hours` handler.  This has
    67 been utilized in consumption to provide hours reports across projects
    68 sharing the same parent directory.  If `trachours.multiproject` is
    69 enabled, then `/hours/multiproject` will become a handler front-ending
    70 hours reports throughout the project and a link to this will appear on
    71 the `/hours` page to `/hours/multiproject`.
