I haven't seen that, but yes, the number one goal of Ruport is to act
as a bridge between various databases and data sources as well as many
different output formats.

The main idea is that Ruport will make it so similar but incompatible
systems will be able to talk, without pain.  This way, you can focus
on the reporting, not the bridgework.

Thanks for pointing this out, I'll look into it :)
