No, but please let us know as soon as you have something worth
testing!  For google->org, I was thinking that you would need to
impose some structure on the org representation of events, so that it
was clear algorithmically where to insert new events within the org
buffer that were only on the google side prior to syncing.  A simple
chronologically sorted format would suffice, e.g.

* <2008-05-30 Fri> foo
* <2008-05-31 Sat> bar
* <2008-06-01 Sun> baz

or

* 2008-05
** <2008-05-30 Fri> foo
** <2008-05-31 Sat> bar
* 2008-06
** <2008-06-01 Sun> baz

or even

* 2008
** 2008-05
*** <2008-05-30 Fri> foo
*** <2008-05-31 Sat> bar
** 2008-06
*** <2008-06-01 Sun> baz
