Hi,
If your just going to be 'tracing' from public domain maps (dwg files)
maybe gpsbabel could convert it to gpx, and trace over it that way
would work?
Would be interesting to learn your findings.
Then we could post it on the wiki (if possable, and explain the method)

But what's that supposed to mean? 2 weeks? 4 or 10?
Is this a process where some

It seems like it would make more sense to have a tag called "peak", with
attributes "natural" or "manmade", rather than the other way around. After
