The resource view is good to show what a resource is working on each day or week. What it doesn't show is how many hours the resource is given for the task. For instance, I frequently have a task that has a duration of 5 days for a resource, but there are only 10 hours of effort assigned (25% allocated).

This creates a slight communication problem because with just a print-out of this screen, the resource can't tell how much total effort is allowed for the task.

It would be best to show not just the bar for the task but also the number of hours. Is this possible?

It's not possible yet, but we plan to put this feature into 1.5 -- watch for a beta to be announced.
