OpenStreetMap
The city of Columbus, Ohio, USA is going to have building outlines added to OSM for a clearer purpose as to what exists in the city for tourists, residents, etc. I believe that this will help contribute to the well-being of the city’s status in the map website, and that it will help start an outline revolution in OSM.

Have you read osm.wiki/Import/Guidelines ?

How does this have any relevancy to my post?

It means that all your imported buildings will be deleted and your account blocked if you do not follow the policy, which first and foremost includes a requirement to discuss your plans with the community on the imports mailing list, including concrete technical details about how you want to proceed, and what your plan is to make sure there’s a community of people to maintain the data in the future.

@union4 Naturally if it is just a misunderstanding and you don’t intend to import but want to trace the outlines, sorry. However you should understand that we have suffered and continue to suffer from hit and run imports in the US that as a tendency tend to be badly executed on top of that.

I am curious what is the source for the bldg. outlines? And more to the point what is the license of the data? If you are just tracing over imagery than nevermind. I was wondering if you had a dataset of bldg. outlines.

@jackbus, @SimonPoole, @woodpeck: I am not importing anything, I am only using the Bing satellite view as my guide to create outlines.
