Make public forum for Overpass-API related discussions #605

Seems Overpass miss his own public place for ask questions and search answers to already asked popular questions - as I research, it have only Wiki, and this issue tracker. But Wiki and issue trackers are not good places for asking common questions.

So most of people asking OverPass-related questions in general OpenStreetMap's Questions and Answers section of OpenStreetMap forum here: https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewforum.php?id=10, mixing them with OSM questions.

Will be good if Overpass-API have his own separate place to discuss related topics, for better grouping and aggregating of information.

I have created similar topic here https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=71093 and, as I understand, admins ready to create separate section in OSM forum. What do you think about this idea? If you agree, can you post your agreement, as author of Overpass-API, in that thread?

You can use Stack overflow, GIS SE, Slack US, as well as the development mailing List. I believe that's probably enough at this time.
