[TYPO3] PROPOSED EXTENSION for Google's shopping cart called Checkout

[Charles Coleman]

Now HERE is something well worth making an extension for!  First, what is 
Google Checkout and the Google Checkout API?  Read here to find out more:

If we supported Google Checkout, I believe we could be listed on the list of 
Google Checkout supported shopping carts shown here... please correct me if 
I am wrong.  This would bring us a great amount of interested web traffic 
wanting to integrate Google Checkout.

There are also incentives for doing integrating it :)

Google Checkout is a fairly new service but will soon be prevalent on the 
web due to the ease of use for customers registering their information only 
once.  It will then "follow" them to every Google Checkout enabled shopping 
cart.  We have a great opportunity to attact many new customers to Typo3 by 
showing our progressive approach to web technology.

I discussed this in the typo3.projects.tt-products news group... here is a 
quote from that discussion...

The best thing is to make an extension [for Google Checkout] implementing 
tx_paymentlib, which  is a eneralization of online payment methods.

This will make integration of online payments in extension XYZ much easier 
and can be done in a more "clean" way.

I know Franz Holzinger is looking for funds to integrate tx_paymentlib with 
tt_products.

So.... what do you think?  Is this a worthy extension or am I full of hot 
air?
