The simplest "export" is to use the SQL backend. There are a variety of report generators available for SQL databases. Since the next release of GnuCash will be SQL-centric (replacing QOF for queries and providing record-level locking for simultaneous multi-user access), I think this is the way to go. GnuCash already has a plugin system, though it's a bit cumbersome. You can find some examples in src/experimental.
