I'm using an Ubuntu derived distro, so I should be good. Tyler converted
the MLI building data and has been importing it into OSM already. I've
read thought the terms, do I need to clear a import with someone?

To convert you have to write a python function that maps the shapefile
tagging to osm tagging. This is not technically very hard, but mapping to
osm tags is very easy to get wrong.
If you're using Windows, I'd suggest using VirtualBox and Ubuntu to run it.

Subject: [Talk-ca] Importing MLI park boundaries
Hi Everyone
The Canvec data for MB provincial park boundaries is horribly inaccurate
and this bothers me greatly. The government of Manitoba offers good
boundary data and a bunch of other cool stuff though the Manitoba Lands
Initiative, which I believe we can use, but I've never converted
Shapefiles to an API 0.6 compatible osm file (or at all really). How
would I best do this?
