The Advanced Centre for Technical Development of Punjabi language, Literature and Culture of the Punjabi University, Patiala, has released two utilities, one of which is meant for transliteration from the Gurmukhi script to the Shahmukhi script, while the other is meant for transliteration from Shahmukhi to Gurmukhi.
The latter is still in the beta stage of development, however.
For the uninitiated, the Punjabi language is mostly written in the Gurmukhi script, in the Indian part of Punjab, whereas, the Shahmukhi script is mainly used for that purpose in the Pakistani part of Punjab.
That’d be pretty awesome

Yup!
The one for transliteration of Shahmukhi to Gurmukhi is in the beta version, but can still be tried out, I suppose.

Now that is news to me, for I’ve heard and read that Shahmukhi (which uses the same alphabet as Urdu) is the script for Punjabi there.
In any case, please do have a look at http://www.apnaorg.com/ that provides online help for those desirous of learning either of the scripts.
