There is considerable interest in importing buildings currently however OpenStreetMap has rules around importing. Join talk-ca to see the discussion in Canada. It isn't quite as simple as first appears nor as fast to get consensus as one might like. In the case of Canada it has taken a number of years to reach where we are today.
It might be interesting to look at who maps what. Some aspects can be done from satellite imagery, others such as the name of a cafe needs boots on the ground. Examine the map and see which comes first. Also it is worth examining who uses the map. It isn't just one NGO even though they might be behind a particular project or set of tiles. Is it worth looking at how standards have evolved? Take a look at the African highway tagging. algorithms, we could do with something to detect settlements with no connecting highways. Lots of highways in Africa are tagged unclassified and we know there should be better differentiation. Fancy tackling which are very minor highways and which carry more traffic? Not perhaps as black and white as you might like but looking at all the things that need to be taken into account in the real world would be valuable.
