[Qgis-user] Ideas for QGIS plugin?

[Florian Hillen]

Dear mailing list,

first of all I want to thank everybody for the input an the suggestions.
Some plugins are a bit to extensive for my bachelor thesis (I can maximal
write about 40 pages), so I pick up the suggestion with the OpenStreetMap
plugin and modify it a little.
Sometimes I'm in the situation, that I want to show somebody a track or
something, but didn't have the appropriate background data. There are some
ways to receive a shp from OSM-Data, but I think it's a lot more
comfortable and maybe faster if it's implemented in QGIS as a plugin.
So my plan is to build a plugin, that transforms OSM-Data to shp (either
with an existing .osm file or with a given extend) and add a new layer (or
many layers) to QGIS. If anybody knows that this plugin is already
developed, please contact me!

Thanks to everybody again and hopefully some of you will use my plugin in
the future (even though I know that the plugin is more for private use
than for commercial).

Best regards,
Florian
