+1 — we strongly support this.
We use Discourse’s [event] syntax (via the Calendar plugin) to schedule and coordinate official council meetings — each event lives inside a dedicated topic, and we encourage members to RSVP using the built-in interface.
The problem is: we currently have no clean way to extract that RSVP data in a usable format. For public engagement sessions, executive meetings, and internal briefings, it would be incredibly useful to export:
- Event topic title + URL
- Display name / username of RSVPs
- RSVP status (going / interested / not going)
- Email address (admin-only, for attendance logs or direct follow-up)
- Timestamp of RSVP (if possible)
Our clerks and chairs often don’t use Discourse themselves, so being able to download a CSV and share attendance with them is essential.
Understandably, email visibility would need to be permission-limited to site staff or group moderators — but without it, the export loses most of its administrative value.
This kind of structured export would significantly improve the plugin’s usefulness for real-world orgs that use Discourse to coordinate offline meetings.
Happy to provide a sample .csv layout if helpful!
