Research direction

The payload names no source files, so start by finding how the existing converters are registered in the repository and whether an OpenStreetMap XML reader is already available in the dependencies. Done means a sample .osm file converts to KML, KMZ and Shapefile, and the new format appears in the supported list. The issue does not say which output formats are required for a first version, so confirm that scope with the maintainer before you begin.
