Import/Export of Campaigns

All, I would like to know if the topic of importing/exporting campaigns has been discussed or is on some roadmap somewhere. I would love the ability to either trade or "lend" campaigns to friends. I get asked all the time by people if I can either run a game or give someone else access to my account to run one of the campaigns I designed. I know there are issues around intellectual property rights but nothing that can't be worked around. Thoughts? Thanks!

Perhaps I wasn't really clear. I am not really looking to specifically sell content I create. That is an option but in some cases I would like to just build a campaign and then gift or freely permit others to use that content that I deem appropriate. I understand that if specific content in my creation are privately licensed, the consumers of that content will require similar license and I am ok with that. From my perspective, only mentor level users would be able to have access to my content provided I used mentor level tokens, maps, etc...
Couldnt you just use the copy/extend campaign feature and make them a co-gm of that version?

MegA, not all of the content is for sale, some of it is free or free to specific subscriber levels (such as Mentor). We currently have a free campaign in addition to the pay campaign. Assuming you have all the rights to the material then you could talk to the Devs about options. - Gauss
If they're an outside player, as in not typically involved in the campaign in question, just add them as a player and set them as GM. If you're going to play in that game, then after joining, just click the option to log back in as a player.
I was thinking more of exporting the entire campaign as a zip file or something and then delivering it to my intended user (Email, thumb drive, etc..). Realistically it does not need to contain any of the actual media files as they already reside on the system but all of the configuration in a portable format would be awesome. This way I could bundle it with any other content (PDF's, Word Docs, etc...) that are required to run the campaign. What this amounts to is a dump of the config so that with it the campaign can be recreated during the import process and define all the required variables.
This would be awesome. Say for example you went to the trouble of uploading a chess board and all the tokens, you could zip that up and share it with people. Of course uploading it to the marketplace would be nice too but for a campaign you may not want to do that necessarily, and an external transfer might be more personal and private... :) +1. I'd probably subscribe just to be able to export games/campaigns.
I agree that this would be a great feature. I would love if you could hit an export button, download even just a map from the campaign in some format and reupload it in another. This is much better in my opinion than just sharing assets as sometimes bringing different assets together even with a plan can take many hours.
