Shouldn't be too hard for SBS to do a DB query to pull out everything into a excel/google docs format. Maybe 10-15mins? Much easier than community manually entering values (hours and hours).

No, well yes, but no it shouldn't be in a specific spreadsheet format -- it should just be a csv so that anyone can use it however they want, not limit it to a specific application.

No it should be Json for python query
May I ask why? That seems incredibly restrictive for the vast majority of people -- no non-technical person would be able to do anything in it, or likely have access to anything that could import it without assistance.
If SBS were to provide this data, it would likely be simple enough that it wouldn't need to be in a format capable of supporting a complex structure -- I don't see any benefit to using json.

technically you can work with csv in python too, but json is probably easier.

JSON is easy to import into anything, apps, scripts, and spreadsheets. There's really no downside to it. You can even convert json to csv fairly easily, but the opposite is a bit more complex (it can be done, it just takes more effort).
If such a thing were offered, it should be in a format that can be imported directly into at least one commonly available application with no programming required. People shouldn't be forced into learning Python or any other textual language in order to access the data. That was my original idea, anyways.
