Thanks for the update. 

Basically, I've just written a task scheduler, which uses pluggable modules to
run tasks. At the moment, I'm using it for downloading OAI-PMH records and
importing OAI-PMH records into Koha. Adding support for things like "scheduled
reports" would be as easy as creating a task plugin and creating a data entry
template on the Koha staff client.

At the moment, all the work is on bug #10662, but I've thought about splitting
my patches into separate bug reports...
