Overpass API developpement

[Martin Raifer <>]

Just a quick note from me, in case you don't know already: I'm the
mentor for this particular GSoC project, and will help Arian during
the next months as good as I can. Of course, we welcome any additional
help, feedback and input we may get from you guys. :)

Bye,
Martin
