[Qgis-developer] New Symbology / OSM/ ICONS

[kimaidou]

Hi Mayeul and devs,

Mayel, I had a look at your wiki page which describes how to get and use OSM
data. I think you should speak a bit more about pre-processed shapefiles, as
it is much easier for people with no server/time/skills to open a shapefile
in Qgis than setting up a complete OSM postgresql/postgis database.

I know all the tags are not in the shapefiles, but it is a good start. See
the small qgis mapserver rendering with these shapefiles :
http://demo.3liz.fr/qgismapserver/

By, the way, I am also looking for icons to render the rich OSM poi
database, (http://demo.3liz.fr/osminterest/ ) and asked the creator of the
SJJB icons to create some more. I gave him a list 2 days ago, and he told me
he would spend some times to work on it in the coming weeks.

I will let you know when I get some information.
