Hi.

GutHub Projects already has a "Date" field. A "DateTime" field would be good as well, so, for example, we can specify deadlines for projects to the minute. A custom field called "Deadline" would benefit from being of this type.

This would require some better filtering if datetimes were added, e.g. deadline:>"@now" rather than @today.

Also, it would be good if we could have some time intervals for relative times, e.g deadline:>"@now - interval '2 days'" in order to show what deadlines we have coming up in the next 2 days.

I've taken the interval '2 days' from PosgreSQL's formatting, which extends in the way you might imagine, instead of days you could say weeks, hours, minutes and so on.

Other suggestions for magic time values:

• @thisweek
• @thismonth
• @lastweek
• @lastmonth
• @nextweek
• @nextmonth

I'm sure you get the idea...

Thanks again!
