Hi, Christoph:
There isn't any confusion, at least not on my side. I never said that
this is not an import. It is an import because we get data from an
organization (Thimphu city council) to incorporate to OSM. What I say is
that, as the import is fully manual and all building footprints will be
checked and aligned one by one against Bing, it is technically very
similar to remote editing using Bing. That's quite clear. Another thing
would be if we made a semi-automatic or automatic import, a type of
imports that I respect, but I don't like generally, if you want my opinion.
Cheers,
Rafael.

This statement astonishes me - if there is no organized local

contact mappers active in the area for their opinion.
Note also Bhutan is a fairly popular tourist destination and there
is likely quite a bit of local mapping done by visitors. Even if
you are not able to contact any native local mappers for their
opinion you can certainly try to get in touch with people who have
mapped in country there and who might be able to make a more
competent assessment if such import makes sense or not.
Do I need to contact local mappers to trace buildings with aerial
imagery. [...]
To me there seems to be a misconception here about the difference
between remote mapping and an import.
This is the import mailing list, its purpose is primarily the review of
planned imports according to the import guidelines. I am trying to do
such a review here. If this is not what this thread is meant to be
about I am sorry for the confusion.
