So far progress on this plugin has mainly been in planning - there's several different ways the plugin could be implemented.
My aim is to simultaneously redevelop the current PayPal plugin, so that both plugins essentially have the same usage and API (so switching between them, or using both at the same time should be easy and pain free). At some point I plan to do the same with an AmazonFPS plugin too. This is actually a small component of a much larger project that I'm working on, similar to Magento or ElasticPath. Obviously, with both Google Checkout and PayPal there a number of ways you can communicate with the gateway (and the gateway communicates back for IPN) and all of these need to be catered to, hence I'm spending a lot of time to make sure this is done correctly. The Google checkout demo is indeed being used as a guideline, but the plugin itself will be test driven - there's no excuse not to, seeing as the Google checkout toolkit comes with unit tests. Given that this is actually a financially impacting unit of code, it makes even more sense. Writing tests after code has been written is essentially a waste of time - you bend your tests to fit the code, not vice-versa. I don't expect that this plugin will be ready any time shortly - possibly not for a few months. If you'd like to join the plugin development team, I'm happy to add you as a developer (apply at the plugin page) If you join this plugin, you should probably also join the sfPayPalPlugin dev team too. If anybody DOES join the plugin, I'll get round to making some form of formal design document.
