Do you have plans for allowing users to export the data they enter on the site? I looked into the API, but it seems geared towards full "applications" that use the data, not individuals hoping to keep a backup copy of their data.

   Gregory,

   This is pretty interesting. We backup the data pretty frequently - but if wanted to have it for your own use - that might be something we should look into. What type of format would you be looking for?

   Thanks,
   Greg

   It's not that I don't trust that you do frequent backups, but I'm somewhat hesitant to spend time adding data to sites where I don't have easy access to that data. I'm not set on a specific format -- anything parsable would be fine (some flavor of RDF or XML would probably be my preference).

   Thanks for the quick response!

   Gregory,

   Good points. We'll look into what we can do for this. Haven't heard this request from a lot of people - so we'll need to see how we can do it the right way. We'll let you know!

   Thanks,
   Greg

   Definitely support this idea of having an XML data export feature.
