The Totally Typing Time Tracker

The grand plan:
 - UI and back end are 2 separate programs
 - communication between them is in a well defined text format
 - text format semantics are dictated partly by local settings, e.g. the user-
   defined abbreviations for different category types.
 - every piece of data in the system is UUID'd so that data can be generated on
   multiple clients and pushed to multiple remote sources. (Or should we scrap
   this, assume one remote source, and accept an ID from the remote source?)
 
Front end:
 - requests time records for desired range from back end
 - sends new records and/or modifications to existing records to back end

Back end:
 - receives information from front end, parses data, and uploads to attached
   remote sources
 - remote sources may respond with a request for more data, e.g. a time record
   might refer to a project that has not yet been defined in that remote source.
 - a local source may also be specified, e.g. an sqlite DB. This could be
   viewed as a cache.

Local config files define:
 - back end sources
 - user-defined abbreviations
 
Workflow:
 - user starts their choice of front end
 - front end may request a range of time records from back end at startup
 - user adds new records and modifies existing records
 - on each of these events, front end calls back end program with the relevant
   record
 - back end sends record to remote and/or local sources
 - remote sources may request further data e.g. new category options

Categories:
 - a time record may have any number of associated categories
 - each category has one or more options
 - a category may be limited to one option per time record, else unlimited
   options pre time record

Drupal remote source:
 - Could implement categories as a taxonomy vocabulary, or a new derived bundle.
 - Vocabularies may already have a suitable once-only/unlimited property or this
   may need to be implemented (hence new bundle).
