That's a great news! :D I'm very happy that the module I started and 
that KN Dati improved had such a success and that will be the starting 
point for the next OpenERP's report engine.
Anyway, I want to remember the official page of the project: 
https://launchpad.net/report-openoffice
and the ml: report-openoffice-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Just a clarification: genshi & co. are not "report engines". They are 
templating libs. Relatorio *is* a report engine and relatorio makes use 
of genshi.

IMHO I'll stay with Relatorio (the better If we want start from 
report_oo), but of course we can choose between Geraldo, PyRep and so on.

BUT, if you want to create a report engine from scratch... well, we can 
choose which templating lib to use :) and my vote goes to Genshi.

Cheers,
