I would like to help in the following way: - Convert the data from shape/dbf to postgis in their original schema using ogr2ogr - Create table mappings to convert the schema's to relations/ways/nodes in the osm data structure in postgis - Create a ASCII dump of insert statements for the mysql database on the main openstreetmap database
Would this help be of any use?
