there is a very nice (C++) plugin from Gis-Lab

http://gis-lab.info/qa/qgis2google-eng.html

that need qgis-master to work. Unfortunately all my late tries to make
it work are resulting in a crash when activating it.


It would be really nice to find people interested gathering the
necessary resources to allow gis-lab make a port to python of this very
useful tool.
