We're exploring working with case tracker, but your message got us to  
look at activeCollab again. One-click install on our Dreamhost  
playground made it easy to check out again. It has made big  
improvements since the last version. The time tracking seems to be  
near the top of the todo list, so maybe we'll see that added in  
coming months. They also have developing an API slated before that,  
so perhaps there will be ways to integrate.
