Yes, that example looks like just about the right level of detail for
a quickstart tutorial. One thing I'd add (if it's straightforward to
do so) is a demonstration of how to produce a nice HTML or PDF report
in addition to the plain-text report.

With regards to Jamey's comments: I hope my previous message didn't
come across as hostile or overly negative. I know you and the other
Ruport developers have put a lot of work into this, and now that I
know a little more about what Ruport can do, I'm already thinking
about ways we might be able to use it here at work. I think that by
adding just a little more newbie-oriented information on the home page
-- whether it's tutorials, images of sample reports, etc. -- you're
going to be able to hook a lot more people like me who were in the
dark about Ruport.
