I thought it would be a good start in OSM to improve the mapping of my own 
neighborhood. I have worked on the road alighnmets, adding bridges etc. I also 
started adding addresses. I am pretty sure these are all good things to do. One 
thing I have started that I am not sure of is adding building outlines for all 
the houses for which that is possible based on the Bing Satellite images. I 
have looked around in some larger cities (not an extensive search though) and 
haven't seen any buildings outlined in residential neighborhood only in more 
commercial districts. Is there some reason I should not do this? Maybe it 
hasn't been done because it doesn't add much useful information but is labor 
intensive? It is a bit tedious but I figured if everyone just did their own 
neighborhood, large areas could be done. Any thoughts?
