Default to today for hours entry

[hilton]

This kind of application should use default values to minimise data input in the most common cases. In particular, /hourentry should pre-fill the date field with today's date, since that is a good guess for the value.

The same applies to other fields, and you can potentially use fancy logic here to make good guesses. A simple example: default the number of hours to 8 minus the number of hours entered. More complex: default the project to one of the current projects that doesn't yet have hours for today.

Ooh, I just discovered that you can enter hours for a particular day by selecting the date in the calendar on the right. This is not obvious.

How about defaulting to the first date that has less than 8 hours entered?

That's always today, right? :)

This would be a subtle hint if it's not.
