Hm,

if you look at JasperReports it is Java. Can you implement this internally into QGIS? Looking at reports in general some kind of programming will always be needed to generate an individual report because the data structure is individual, too, so I think it will always be something for specialists. An idea to start with would be to create a new element in Composer that makes simple calculations like sum or average on a field: Choose layer - choose field - choose what to do. Evaluation time will be the same as for the map (either permanetly or on request but at least before printing).

implementation of JasperReports [1] with QGIS. JasperReports not only allows
sum/average and the like but also subreports (for ?:n relations) charts and much
more. AFAIK (but have not tried myself) LibreOffice output is possible, too.

send the data and the report template to the server.

Hi all.
I agree this is an important issue. I heard there was some plan to implement 
this:
anyone knows the current status, and the prospects for the future?
Obviously, we have always the same duality: implementing outside QGIS is easier 
and
more powerful, reusing existing tools, whereas an internal implementation is far
smoother from an user point of view.
Historically, in most analogous cases we ended up implementing an internal 
solution
(sometimes using common libs), and I suspect sooner or later we'll have to do 
the
same for reporting also.
All the best.
