These are the goals of report_openoffice.

Some people prefer Jasper/iReport or other solutions, because those are
"reporting tools" and even because they don't need to install openoffice
on the server.
I perfectly agree, but when we thought at report_openoffice for the
first time we had in mind those people who need to just move a field on
the report, add an image or other common situations where those task can
be addressed to non-technical users, like the "girl Friday" [1]

So, what we dream is something similar to the Tiny's OpenReport [2], but
free...
Report OpenOffice itself is almost working.
yes, we can improve performances, syntax efficiency and other things...

At the moment, the development is organized on IRC (#relatorio channel),
because we often need the precious help of Cèdric Krier (Relatorio and
Tryton developer).
But we can open a dedicated IRC channel or launchpad mailing list.
