Could indeed be easiest solution ;) You could also look at how you serialize or save data for export / import between two environments. Just have it custom save out to a standard plist format or a simple xml schema. Then you can decouple that from the CoreData versioning and differences. Internally, for speed or what have you it could easily import to the CoreData model. However, a simple web app might be just as feasible. Depends on what interests you at this point.
