PDesk CSV plugin is now available for testing.
Please note that I shortly tested and it seemed to work, but there are
few problems with that that I know of so far:

From the todo list:
1: export dates to be of same format as import dates
2: Excel: remove delimiter parameter, change to Excel dialect
3: export file is written in reversed order, what to do?
4: whole opened file content is overwritten ... ???
5: doesn't change file status to changed, thus no question whether or
not to save the file on exit

No. 1 means that the date format that is exported, will not be
imported back.
No. 3, again, file that gets exported, will not be importable due to
reversed order.
No. 4 - ATTENTION - if you import to your current file, whole file
gets overwritten (once you save after import) with the imported items.
So best is to import to a blank project, and use copy/paste (not sure
if possible) to move elsewhere if necessary.

Test file is enclosed, so that you can see the format that is
necessary for import.

I plan to fix, or at least to examine, all the bugs above and all
those that will be reported to me, either here, or through the contact
details which are in the plugin file (csvinout.py).

I will also consider any feature requests.

I can't find any upload link when logged and browsing in a Files
section :(.

I would be flattered of course.
