An import of this magnitude will obviously be considerably more complicated that just the conversion/uploading. You'll see some of the issues mentioned on the wiki http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import, and also discussed on the imports mailing list. http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/imports/ Perhaps you could start with a bit of a plan as to how you're going to handle overlaps and existing suburbs, coastline and river boundaries, etc. Then we can review the plan, and may be able to help with suggestions and some aspects of the conversion.
