[OSM-talk] [BOT] [RFC]: water surfaces

[Martijn van Exel]

Possibly! I am not sure if I understand the full scope of the issues, but if someone could catch some of the issues presented in one or more Overpass queries, I (or anyone, really) can use geojson2maproulette to make a MapRoulette challenge out of it.
