Do you basically mean an R implementation of the Google Data APIs:
http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/clientlibs.html
or at least, that part of the API for dealing with google documents?
http://code.google.com/apis/documents/developers_guide_protocol.html
That would be very interesting... something like:
library(google)
g=google("username","password")
d=data.frame(x=1:10,y=runif(10))
googleSendData(g, d)
it might be easier to start by hooking into one of the other language
client libs (java, python) instead of trying to write one in native R
from the start. Although there's XML handling for R and the protocol
appears to be based on that....
Something to do in those long winter nights ahead in the northern
hemisphere perhaps...
