  Description     : set and manage timers in Emacs using a convenient notation

 TMR is an Emacs package that provides an elegant interface for setting and
 managing timers using a convenient notation.  The most simple of these is M-x
 tmr RET, 30 (or any real number) RET, which executes a 30min timer.  Seconds
 and hours are of course also supported.  This is a full-featured timer
 management extension, and it has its own (optional) mode-line, and its own
 (optional) major mode which provides a top-down tabulated view of all timers.
 .
 Timers may be created with or later annotated with corresponding
 descriptions, and these descriptions become part of the desktop notification
 that will be forwarded to the messaging system of GNOME, KDE Plasma, XFCE, etc.
 When sound-theme-freedesktop is installed, a familiar alarm will play
 whenever a timer completes.
 .
 Backronyms: TMR May Ring; Timer Must Run.

For years I have found it frustrating that Debian doesn't include a
mechanism to quickly input and start a timer.  If it takes more than
three seconds to do this, it take too long, and for Emacs users, TMR
is the most efficient option.

I plan to maintain it within the Debian Emacsen Team.
