Hi, Michael:
Thank you for submitting this import for review, and good luck in
building a local OSM community in the Seychelles!
I can't find the data license for both sources when clicking in their
respective links in the wiki. Could you point us to where we can find
them? Making sure that the license is ODbL compatible is key before
proceeding with the import.
As for the import itself, it looks good quality and well organized. Some
issues/improvements I would add:
1. I can't see any link to the original data file(s).
2. After checking some of the OSM data for the Seychelles, I see that at
least roads and some buildings seem to have been traced against Bing
imagery, so I wonder if it would be better to align the buildings to be
imported with that imagery provider too. But not sure if this would be
convenient or not. I'd like more opinions on this.
3. Running the JOSM validator over the seychelles_buildings.osm, it
gives 4 crossing buildings that should be corrected before the import.
4. I would strongly recommend that you add these two tags to the
changeset tags:
type=import
url=https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Seychelles_Building_Import
That way, people will be able to easily know that the data have been
imported following the import guidelines.
Cheers, and thank you again,
Rafael.

Dear OSM Community,
I intend to upload building outlines and relating tags for the inner
islands of the Seychelles, contributed by the Centre for GIS and the
National Bureau of Statistics of the Seychelles under the ODbL.
I followed the Import Guidelines, added an entry to the Import Catalogue
and created a relating wiki page:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Seychelles_Building_Import
Please note that there is basically no OSM community yet in the
Seychelles but we (friends, colleagues and myself) are trying to
establish one. We have a one-week mapathon event with secondary school
teachers and students from August 27 to September 1 which is our first
major attempt to make OSM known to a wider range of people here in the
Seychelles. Having the building outlines I intend to import available in
OSM would facilitate our mapathon a lot and the data collection teams
could focus on collecting building details (and other features) rather
than tracing building outlines.
I have created a dedicated user account that will be used only for the
import.
I would be happy to receive any feedback from your side.
Many thanks,
Michael
