I would be interested to see some plugin mechanis, that enables to install plugis / modules for enhancement. This means, you can install the time tracking plugin, but you must not. It's an add-on. You can also install time-budgeting add-on, or a order management add-on, billing add-on, etc. I mean, I talk about modularity. It's sure not an easy thing to do, but I believe that we could research plugin & dependency management mechanisms, install / update, etc. Make this thing modular, enhanceable. Often such mechanism rely on some genius simple model (read "Better, Faster, Lighter Java" - it contains information about such plugin mechanisms. Or study the Eclipse plugin mechanism...
I think that time tracking should not be part of the core functionality of itracker, because maybe not everybody wants it.

OK. I understand that not everybody might not want to to have this feature. Definitely a plugin mechanism is an overkill for now. Someday maybe. :)
A milder approach will be to have a status tagged to an issue to monitor in-progress issues.
