[talk-au] South Australia Suburb Boundries

[Paul Norman]

There are numerous tools for converting from shapefiles to .osm. Both
shp-to-osm and ogr2osm work and you can find more info on the wiki. The hard
part is converting tags, which requires knowledge of OSM tagging.
Additionally make sure to follow
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines, which includes
consulting with the imports@ mailing list.

In order to make this a little bit easier, I've published a job on elance to
convert the shp files to kml, osm. This should allow various folks from
around here to load in data via JOSM. That'll let us check data as well
prior to loading.

Assuming someone picks it up; I'll publish the resutls, conversion scripts
on github.
