Well, i think that you are confused, we are making a report engine gnome
independent, but what we are talking about is a graphical interface to make
and show reports, those interfaces will use the gda-report as backend. Then
you could do a kde-report or a motif-report and if we could port it into
Windows a win-report :-D


Do you understand the idea?

I think that this option is not valid in all situations, think in a graphic
aplication that want show a report exit, you should take it the output
transparent, the user see the report as other part of the application, (s)he
don't need go to other program....
