As a precursor, what about publishing an API so that the community could provide plug-ins for reports? Queryable interface that brings back JSON and then maybe a limited "web view" Viewer for presentation? Developers would be allowed to use javascript and CSS, maybe access to a FOSS web-graphing plug-in and jQuery to provide reporting modules? This would both enable reporting enhancements that may not burden the core development team AND it opens the door to automated interoperability with more enterprisey type tools.
