Ruport is currently a combination of a neat proof of concept with some useful little scripts and utils that are quickly becoming rather powerful. The aim is to be a very handy report generation framework and library which will support an insane amount of input sources (CSVs,Excel,any Database Ruby-DBI supports,various ORMS, anything you can hack away at with parse/input,etc) and then output in an insane amount of formats (PDF,XHTML,XML,CSV,Excel,RSS,etc,etc) while leveraging a powerful set of tools that will munge, organize, and beautify whatever it is you need to report on. It’s not nearly there yet, but it’s on it’s way.
