ademoor, there's currently no way to see time estimates for completed tasks -- but that's something we can look at adding if people would find it useful to see how much time they've spent :)

I second this request :)
It's also rewarding to see how much time you've already spent on a task, and helps on answering the question "what did I do with my day?"

Yes, good idea! Definately allows for better time management.

Make this an optional feature though, as we don't want the window to get too crowded. :D

This could easily be a subpart of the overview. Click overview, then choose whether you want past, present, short and distant future.

This kind of functionality is really hot, as it is ideal for management. Managers really crave this kind of information, because they can know and understand where all their people's time (and their money) has gone to. As such, this would also be ideal in rememberthemilk key selling points.

Sounds good. For now, the binary distinction between (default) future and past view would already be great.

Emily: just a simple adding up of time spent would be _so_ helpful. Right now, I am adding up hours by hand, adding to the stress that this great service helps reduce otherwise! No need to implement major new functionality, you could just reuse whatever you use now to calculate total time on to do-s, if 'past' overview is selected, you would naturally look back, you can even use the same layout as for the to do-view.

Dreaming on, a more complete 'reporting module' would be great: select a few tags and/or lists, start-end dates, level of detail, and a printable html-page could be generated that I could show to my boss to convince him that I really need that holiday...

This feature will be just perfect!!!!
Please do it!

Yes I would really really like this feature to be added!

This one feature is what is keeping me from using RTM. I've found it so useful in The Hit List (app for mac) that I've switched to that, even though it doesn't have any syncing capabilities. I would gladly support RTM with a pro account if this feature was available.

I would also really, REALLY love to see "Time Spent" added to RTM.. I am also currently tracking by hand it is a real pain (easy to forget etc) - plus estimates vs actual is such a common requirement for many time management processes.
