I agree with you on this point. The work field should be base on the
day definition of the project. I see two different ways to do it:
- or you add a parameter to the project definition (thus, in the project
  dialog) which is the hour/day ratio
- or you use the definition of the "Working day" in the project's
  calendar.

The second one is more clean in the object-oriented approach. The first
one is the easier to understand for the user but can be confusing...
