Answers.Text: Thanks for the feedback.  I would like to connect with you to better understand the status of the CiviVolunteer effort.  We have hundreds of volunteers and are looking at this to replace signup genius and have volunteer scheduling integrated with our Civi system.  I will send you a not via your business web site.

Body: <p>The Log Hours feature of the CiviVolunteer extension lists the lists all the available and scheduled volunteers within a volunteer project.  We have scheduled the volunteers out several weeks and would like to record the hours for the completed days (past days).
