When I first asked this question a week back, I got some advice about using GRASS to convert .dwg/.dxf files to shape files, but in the end, I ran into problem after problem and nothing seemed to work. Also, from my reading, shape files aren't a lot of use for importing to OSM anyway (http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2008-March/023968.html ).
*gives up in despair!* I'll ask again, in the hope of finding some more detailed instructions (something a complete idjut like me can understand!) or even someone prepared to convert the file for me to something OSM friendly like gpx or osm-xml. cheers!
