Honestly I'm mostly interested in a plugin (whether to pidgin, RT,
firefox, or some other software I already use) that will take some
action and use it as the punch-in and punch-out. This plugin should
generate configurable reports of hours worked, or alternatively submit
to a server I've set up running the timecard application.

If no such plugin exists, then what is out there in the land of FOSS
to manage time worked, whether for an individual or a group? Anybody
using any of the software on this page:
http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_of_search=soft&words=timecard for
their work/business?
