+The Bcfg2 Reporting System
+==========================
+
+Bcfg2's reporting system is its killer feature. It allows administrators
+to gain a broad understanding of the configuration state of their entire
+environment. It summarizes
+
+* Configuration changes and when they were made
+* Discrepancies between the specification and current client states
+
+ * Clients can be grouped by misconfiguration type
+
+* Configuration entries that are not specified
+* Overall client summaries according to these types
+
+There are two systems, the old system, which builds static reports based
+on a series of XSLT stylesheets and a new dynamic reporting system that
+uses django and a database backend.
