    2733Our idea is to use a basic web form with a file upload (similar to the Import from OpenStreetMap) where you can select which ShapeFile to use. You should also be able to set basic information including database connection details. This will then upload the shape and use OGR2OGR to convert the ShapeFile to geometry and import it into the specified database.
