Hi, It's great that there is discussion started about reporting tool.
There should be many solution that would fit to care2x. As a guideline I would recommend to search for one with gpl-compatible license and compatible with php 4/5. This way it can be integrated in the user interface in care2x as new module or part of the existing modules. About Eclipse-BIRT: isn't this plugins that extends the Eclipse platform? These means that if somebody needs the reports it have to start this Eclipse-extended application. I see the reporting tool not as a separate application, but as part of the current care2x user interface. But nevertheless, whatever you decide will be better than the current situation. About the question who should do this: I see there are many interested people. I recommend that you proceed discussing this, come to a common understanding and idea for solution and then organise yourselves to implement this. You can use the care2x wiki to log your progress and discussions for this feature.
