[Qgis-developer] OSM

[Paolo Cavallini]

Hi all.
OpenStreetMap[1] has now reached a reasonable mass, and extremely
interesting results.
It would be good to have a plugin dowloading their data (useful eg as a
background), and even better if it could also upload tracks and points.
It should not be too difficult, as the API [2] and the xml [3] are well
documented, and already in use by a number of clients.
I believe this would make both OSM and QGIS more usable and powerful.
All the best.
