[OSM-np] extracting user defined tags into gis formats

[bibekshrestha at gmail.com]

Hi Amrit,

The guys from geofabrik said they used osm2shp
http://code.google.com/p/osm2shp/ to extract shape files from openstreetmap
data.
Since they have pretty good shape file extracts, I hope the tool could be
of good help.

Cheers
