[Talk-us] New MapRoulette challenge - fix railway crossings

[Martijn van Exel]

Hey all,

Just a note that these are only the first 20000 tasks of what should
be a ~75k task challenge altogether. So depending on how the FRA
sorted the data, it may expose regional gaps for that reason.

Also, please even if you see the crossing rendered, do go in and
check, because I have seen more than once that the crossing node is
not a shared node between way and rail. (Hint, use 'j' to join node to
way and 'm' to merge nodes that are (almost) on top of each other.)

Thanks again all for participating! Almost 2500 done already. I think
it's a fun challenge too.
