we just started using RT 3.0.10 within several projects and I am quite satisfied with RT’s concepts and robustness.
A thing I am missing though is the ability to generate reports. Let’s say I wanted to communicate a detailed list of feature requests for a product to a person I cannot grant direct access to RT. How do I do this? (I should note that the feature request queue involves a couple of custom fields).

We had a similar need; people wanted Excel overviews of projects which
also involved custom fields (although in our case the people who needed
the overviews did have access).
I made some new templates which operated on search results (and were
linked from the search page) that gave the information in tab-delimited
format.
I’m not very satisfied with the result, however, because it requires the
person to explicitly save the page source.
I haven’t had time to look for a more graceful solution yet. So I’m
also curious about how other people have solved this.
