The csvreplicata product is not just a simple CSV import/export mechanism as ArcheCSV used to be (i.e. choose a target content type, and map AT fields with CSV columns).
Csvreplicata allows to manage a Plone site (or a Plone site folder) off-line in a CSV file: the CSV file can contain different content types, and reproduce the folder/sub-folder structure.
Exported contents can be edited in the CSV file, and new contents can be created as well.
Then the resulting file can be imported back into the Plone site to update its contents.
It is a free opensource software distributed by Makina Corpus under GPL license.
The development has been originally developed for the MARS project and has been financed by the Natural Sciences Royal Institute of Belgium.
The product can be downloaded from pypi.python.org, you just have to uncompress the archive, and move the csvreplicata folder in the Plone products folder.
You can also install it as an egg, you just have to add Products.csvreplicata in your buildout:
eggs = ... Products.csvreplicata
Then, you have to install the product from the Plone Control Panel (Site setup – Add-on products).
