Can I ask in what context this "demonstration/pilot" is planned to be 
used? Is MapUganda a commercial entity intending to follow companies 
like GlobalLogic in selling low-cost human mapping labour to companies 
all over the world, or what is the roadmap for this kind of activity?

This is an important question because if this was a harmless one-off we 
could all just say, ok, that didn't work, they had good intentions but 
botched it, no harm done, lesson learned, move on - but if you are 
planning to do this frequently in the future because there's a profit 
motive there, then "no harm done, move on" won't cut it; in that case 
we'd have to request that you thoroughly reform your entire approach 
with better communications, better training, and better work quality 
before you even think of presenting this to anyone as a viable pilot for 
anything.

Bye
Frederik
