I was curious as to why there is a prominent section in the 2.0 User Guide with 10 pages dedicated to the OpenStreetMap plugin which no longer exists?
QGIS 2.0 integrates OpenStreetMap import as a core functionality. As reported here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/QGIS#QGIS2_OpenStreetMap_Vectors. Why is there not any information on the following in the User Guide?: 1. Menu "Vector -> OpenStreetMap -> Load data" will connect to the OSM server and download data. 2. "Import topology from an XML file" below will convert your .osm file into a spatialite database, and create a db connection. 3. "Export topology to Spatialite" then allows you to open the database connection, select the type of data you want (points, lines, polygons) and choose tags to import. This creates a spatialite geometry layer that you can then add to your project via the "add a spatialite layer" menu. Seems like this would have been obvious to include in the User Guid instead of an entire section that is outdated.
