I don't think anyone has converted the TIGER shapefiles en masse yet. Do you need the data right now?
If not, let's start talking about how we can convert the 2010 TIGER data once it comes out. Tim Trainor (of the Census Bureau) has mentioned several times that the 2010 data is quite a bit better than 2009.
Sometimes. There were a lot of new subdivisions built that are in the 2009 data and not the 2005, and it would be easier to copy/paste a neighborhood from it than to draw it from scratch from county records and satellite images.
I am also surveying in some areas that were never touched after TIGER import. The 2009 data I've looked at is extremely well-georeferenced by comparison, and it would be faster to cut/paste it from 2009 than to realign the badly-aligned existing TIGER import.
Would someone with a working shp2osm installation be willing to do the mentioned counties for me?

- I looked at the wiki pages for ogr2osm and shp2osm (+ogr2ogr) and it seems it will be somewhat involved to get either solution working on Windows.
- Is there a repository somewhere of TIGER09 data that has already been converted to .osm format? I'm looking specifically for southern CA (counties of LA, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, Kern, Ventura, Santa Barbara, SLO, etc.).
