[Gsoc-orga] WG: GSoC 2022 - Extend OSM API

[Sarah Hoffmann]

Hi Rene,

thanks for adding the project idea and also for already getting in touch
with Andy. Looks like a very good candidate for a GsoC project to
me. It's very useful but not mission critical.

Andy, I'll ask Tobias (tordans) again for mentoring. And I hear that
Harry Wood is interested in openstreetmap-website development these
days.

Sarah

As you know only a few endpoints of the OSM API support JSON requests/responses (mainly GET) at the moment.
