Iteration lengths of less than 1 week
Is it possible to change the iteration length to less than 1 week? Our team has iteration meetings on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and we've found that this system works really well for us - we probably can't use a tool that doesn't have the flexibility to support these iteration lengths (Fogbugz does, funnily enough)
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Yes. I think it's a little presumptuous of the tool to enforce iterations onto weekly boundaries. I know that one of Pivotal's manifestos for this is keeping it simple and keeping it true to agile, but the reality is that all the teams I've been on feel that fixed sprint lengths actually counteract effective sprinting, as sprints become about "filling the tasks" rather than "getting the features done."
Two possibilities that I see here: Allow sprint lengths to be set in days instead of weeks, or allow sprints to have a target end-date, and figure their length automatically. -
