Misha and I have been looking into getting the results in a database
and re-implementing report pages generation in Django last weekend.

While we can't promise a particular release date, our current 
understanding is that, with a properly chosen scope for the first 
iteration (e.g. "deliver the same functionality as the current 
reports"), the task is not nearly as huge as it might seem at first.
