When you're done with a task in BOINC, it uploads the data that is has collected to a directory on the project's server. Then a notice has to be sent to the database that you have finished this task with whatever outcome you had, be it that you finished it correctly, had an error or aborted it.
This notice is the "ready to report" part.
BOINC will do this automatically in 24 hours, but if you can't wait that long, open BOINC Manager, Advanced view, Projects tab, select Einstein@Home and press the Update button. That reports the tasks that are ready to report.
I´ve installed BOINC correct and run my first 2 packages trough but their status stays ready to report, what does that mean?!
It means that next time BOINC contacts the E@h servers—probably to ask for more work, when you’re nearly finished the two other WUs you received today—it will notify them of the completed tasks. Then your results will be retrieved from the data server (your message log should already record that the files were uploaded: this usually happens immediately after the computation finishes) and put through the validation process.
If you want to hasten things (I can understand being eager to see your first results through) you can go to the Projects tab, select E@h and click the Update button; BOINC will immediately report the “ready� tasks. Normally, though, it will try not to contact the database server more often than necessary, as it’s more efficient to handle requests & reports in batches than to have a separate transaction for each one.

P.S. What Jord said. ;)
