I’m looking to generate some summary reports for some data managed by  
rails/activerecord, pretty standard tables, figures, and listings. Have  
other railites come up with any useful libraries, patterns, practices,  
etc.? I’m thinking something along the lines of crystal/jasper reports,  
although hopefully much less hideous.
