Issue Summary
Great module! I am and will use this module with pleasure.
While working with the node import module (http://drupal.org/project/node_import) to import nodes via CSV data files it came to me. While CSV importing and mapping works very well, there is no option to export in drupal modified data again. The Views Datasource module could be the missing link to it all. The only, common and simplest data format missing here is a CSV export option and voila, drupal content can be in- and exported and edited anywhere, anytime, easily. Is there a chance of implementing this feature?

Try to use attached archive - untar it to views_datasource directory and then enable in modules list.
Should work, but I'm not sure - I tested it a few weeks ago.
This is not exactly a views_datasource, but it is based on it.

The Views Bonus Pack module let's you export nodes to CSV.

Maybe, but even Rob Loach said that this module is the "next generation" solution, and seemes to think this is a better place to implement CSV export than using Views Bonus Export. Please look 3RD post from the bottom of the thread here: http://www.robloach.net/node/48 (post dated approx 1 year ago from 1/15/2010). So will there be progress on this issue? This is such a common need in Drupal...I hope you reconsider.
Thank you for the great module (and to Rob, too!)
