Since ReportingOn is open source, is it ok to download the code and run it on my own site? Any direction on how to do that?
Hi Ted -- Yep. You can find the Django project ready to go at http://code.google.com/p/reportingon

There's not a ton of documentation, but if you're experienced at all with Django it should be relatively familiar.
