To me at least, "report {daily|weekly|monthly}" seems to imply scheduling
reports, i.e., that it will be run every day/week/month. So the second one
might be better in that respect too, as well as flexibility.

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,
