Hi,

With bing hi-res imagery, we can now trace building roofs better.
I've seen a lot of building traces lately.  A couple of tips to get
the outline better.
1. In JOSM, use the building tools and terraces plugin.
2. In potlatch 2, use the "make right-angle" for simple building forms.

Other resources:
1. The building tag page - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Building
2. Roof modelling (translated from German) -

3. ITO map's building and adresses -
