Does anyone knows how can we hide and show entire tasks lists in Trello, or if not possible, if it will be done nearly?

The problem is, that you have a list of 5 or 6 columns, but some of them need to get out of our sight while working, however, we must be able to check them a few times.

Plus, if you have only 4 for instance, it wouldn't be nice to not have them to narrow for comfortable reading.

This is not possible now, but as Rich Armstrong (Director of Customer Operations at Fog Creek Software, the makers of Trello) pointed out in his comment there is a feature request called Collapsible Lists which you can support by e-mailing feature-ideas@trello.com.

Yes, it is possible to hide (archive) and show entire lists in Trello.

To hide a list, open the list's menu (hover over the list's name and you'll see a little triangle appear, click that and you'll see the list's menu). From the menu, choose Archive This List. The list and all of the cards on the list will be hidden, but they are not deleted, you can get them back.

The show an archived list, open the board's menu (click on the little Trello icon to the left of the board's name). From the menu, choose Archived Items. From there, find your list, and click Send to Board to return the list and all of its cards back to the board.

We are also tracking a feature request for Collapsible Lists. These will allow you to use more screen real estate by collapsing lists that don't apply to you. Email us at feature-ideas@trello.com to express your support. – Rich Armstrong Jun 6 '12 at 14:00
Obviously, by hide and show, I didn't mean archive. That's not the intended workflow at all. Hide is something. Archive is other thing. :) Rich Armstrong comment was indeed what I'm looking for. If someone could reply that, at the moment, that's not possible, I could make that answer as correct. – mem Jun 18 '12 at 16:04

I needed this myself, so I wrote https://github.com/shesek/trello-hide-lists. Check it out.
