Overall vision:
Should not you know them already, have a look at:
Rekall, a clone of MS Access (runs on Qt): www.totalrekall.co.uk www.rekallrevealed.org www.thekompany.com
GNUccess, another clone of MS Access (alpha): gnuccess.sourceforge.net
GNU Enterprise: www.gnuenterprise.org
Mozilla SQL native interface: www.mozilla.org
XULMaker, a Visual GUI builder for Mozilla/XUL: www.mozdev.org
They can be a source of inspiration and, maybe, the people working on these project could be willing to cooperate with you.
I like rekall for what it is but its kde so i excluded it orginally, its properly the most mature workable solution out there. I'm just trying to look at gnome here. gnue i wont go into. Mozilla i never paid enough attention because of my shortsigntness in assuming its just a browser technology. But i recently did a project in xul. Its a interesting powerful perspective.
Reporting Report Designer.
Have a look at the report designer of Rekall for inspiration.
I vote for not wasting time in creating a specific Report Designer and Report Engine. Just make your data available to OpenOffice, AbiWord and KOffice and let them do the job. Wordprocessors and Spreadsheets are well-known by end-users and can make a great job on reporting.
If word processes and spreedsheets did a good job of reporting people wouldn't be using ms access and crystal reports and whole raft of other solutions for doing reporting under windows. word processers only offer a limited solution for reports.
