Chores

Chores is an attempt to bring some sanity to tying allowance to chores. It provides a simple interface where our kids can indicate that they've completed a given chore, and then we can get weekly reporting, so that we can base their allowance on what they're actually doing.

Chores are assigned point values, and frequency (once a day, once a week, three times a day, and so on) so that they can't take credit for doing something more often than it actually needs done. Don't want them gaming the system too much.

It's written in PHP as a rapid prototype. Might rewrite as mod_perl later on, but chances are once it's working I won't touch it much more.
