Currently the Guestbook 'Export' function exports the text of the Guestbook (all the different entries) in JSON format.

For non-technical people this might be difficult to extract the text of the different entries.

Could there be an option to "Export as" and include "Export as .csv" and export: (1) "text" of entry (2) name of the person who posted ("author") and (3) date in human readable form ?

We recognise this is a 'one way process' and means that the outputted csv text won't be able to be later imported back into Guestbook, but this is a good function for non-technical people to be able to draw down all the guestbook entries for looking at / analysing elsewhere.

thanks!

This functionality also requested by a group of MAZI users trialling the MAZIzone in Zambia: has there been any progress? thanks!

Alternatively, can somebody point at a URL where I can get a script to convert JSON to .csv? thanks!
