Good to hear - so do we! ;-)

OK. Fixed.

Ninja uses iframes for add-ons like PNP4Nagios, Nacoma, etc.
The links should open within Ninja by default so something must be wrong here.
How did you configure your 'pnp4nagios_path' in config.php?
What does the link look like in the browser? Could you send an example?
It should be something like 
https://<server_address>/ninja/index.php/pnp/?host=<selected_host> for hosts.

Nacoma is really a very good add-on and we simply couldn't wait to release it 
to the community. We felt that waiting until we had proper READMEs and stuff 
would simply take too much time before we could release it. I would really 
love to see someone out there putting something together that makes it easy to 
get Nacoma up and running. At least I can't see that we will have that time 
until next year maybe. We are just too busy working with Ninja at the moment, 
as you might understand.

One of the problems with getting Nacoma and Reports to work is probably the 
references to op5common which we haven't made public yet. It contains some 
libraries (like xajax, JQuery, html2ps and jpgraph) that is required by both 
Nacoma and reports. We will try to make most of this (not jpgraph due to the 
license but you could download this yourself) available at op5.org shortly. 
Stay tuned.

Once again, if anyone is interested, we would love to get some help writing a 
helpful README for installing Nacoma (and reports).
