Is there a simple way to export some basic metadata about the document library of a share site? I'm looking to get an Excel or CSV listing of all documents in a site, as well as some basic metadata (creator, dates, etc), but I'm not sure how to go about it. Any pointers welcome!

Are you comfortable writing JavaScript? If so, you could write a quick server-side JavaScript file to do this. The script would iterate over the documents and files in your document library and write them to a new file.

You could also write a web script to do this.

Or, you could use CMIS (Python, PHP, Java) to write a little command-line program that could do this.

So, lots of possibilities if you don't mind writing a few lines of code.
