It depends on the context:
Outline can be board outline (edge cut), or footprint outline (graphic lines) 
(not always the
silkscreen)

Thank you, jp,

That was my initial reaction (in the links). Someone pointed out (in another 
link) that perhaps the other "Outline" could be changed to "Silkscreen" as that 
is what they said it affected.

Hi Greg,

First, English is not my mother tongue.
Moreover, in Kicad, "Outline" "contour" and "Sketch" are translated in French 
by the same word
("contour").

However I am thinking "Outline" instead of "Sketch" is not a good idea, because 
"Outline" is already
used in menus.
"Sketch" is more something like "not filled" or "not solid" graphic lines in 
Kicad dialogs.

I think Greg is referencing this forum conversation:
https://forum.kicad.info/t/pcbnew-sketch-mode-what-is-it/8429

There it was reported that the word sketch is used in the display 
options dialog for pcb_new.

[Kicad-developers] Wording change

[Greg Smith]

If I developed a (very very small) patch for this change, would it be 
potentially accepted?

There was a conversation on the forums about the wording: Use "Outline" instead 
of "Sketch" to be consistent and clear.
