I know I would *LOVE* to see a report builder for GNOME in 1.0.  I'm just a
user, but I can assure you we've tried just about every reporting tool that will
run on Linux, and they are all pretty bad; slow, buggy, bizarre output formats,
etc...  Anything akin to the quality of meargent would be great,  even if from
the beginning it didn't have every bell & whistle.
