[OSM-talk] TIGER 2007, first OSM data

[Dave Hansen]

I'm trying to share early and often. :)

Here's the first output from my new TIGER 2007 script.  I used
shp2osm.pl from SVN and added a perl port of a chunk of the ruby code
from the original TIGER import.

This doesn't have any of the right OSM tags, but it *is* data of some
kind and opens in JOSM.

Here's the code that I used:

You can run it like this:

perl tiger-shp-to-osm.pl data/ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2007FE/41_OREGON/41055_Sherman/fe_2007_41055_edges.zip  > out-dave.osm

Don't count on any more tarball releases.  I think I'll just stick it in
a git repo and forget about it.
