Hello,

As I am working on the reports feature for Chandler, I would like to improve
the "/report" command.
In the current stage a weekly report is created when "/report" command is
typed in the QuickEntry field. I was thinking to add flexibility and allow
the users to request a report for any period of time. There are two options
I thought about:

1) Rigid, but possibly simple to use:
"/report daily" - for the last day
"/report weekly" - for the last week
"/report monthly" - for the last month
"/report" - will result in a default weekly report

2) Flexible, similar to the timedelta in Python
"/report days=1" - for one day
"/report hours=2" - for the last two hours
"/report weeks=2" - for the last two weeks
and so forth

What are your opinions?

A reminder on the reports project may be found in

discussion in the design list).

Thank you in advance,
Vera (Google Summer of Code)
