I'm admittedly very new to Ledger, using it for the past month or so to 
track finances for my Bitcoin trading. The multi-currency support is great! 
I'm still learning how to take advantage of the capital gains features, 
though.

At my day job, our great time tracking system is going away. It's being 
replaced with an antiquated time tracking system the use of which is 
mandated by the corporation which acquired my "we love to use slick web 
apps" startup employer. We are not required to log our time daily and 
there's not automated means for populating time into this old system.

Has anyone used Ledger as a means for tracking time?

I envision using it something like this:

2013/04/02 daily time
  CustomerName:Billable:Development    55 min
  Internal:Meeting                     1 hr
  Other:Lunch                          5 min
  Time

I would set up a pricesdb that says that 1 hr = 60 min, plus some other 
conveniences (1 day = 8 hr, etc.).

Weekly, I run a report that that starts at the beginning of the week and 
ends at the end of the week, with the output commodity as "hr". This 
absolves me of having to convert minutes to hours in my head!

 The Time account would indicate a negative amount, the absolute value of 
which is how many hours I logged that week. This should generally be 40. 
The other accounts would tell me how much time I spent per customer.

I could also run monthly and yearly reports to see how much time I've spend 
on a certain customer or task.

Thoughts?
