+1 to turning it off as well.

I hope it can be fixed or an alternative created, but best to not have
Fedora users experience any issues due to the issue.

I have not done that this month. I hope to be able to do this at the
end of this month when Robotics is over.

Yes, I wish to stay a member of the group.

None at this time. I just need to find time.

Finding time (3 kids take a lot of time)

I have not made the meetings.

I have not, but will now.

I look for an area that leverages my current skills, but allows for me
to learn and grow.

Sounds like we may be in the same boat...

I use github pages with a custom domain and it does not appear to
support https at the moment. I am researching to see if that is
accurate and what my other options are.

Perhaps when we announce this it would be good to have a few Fedora
Magazine / CommBlog article on how to enable https:// on popular blog
hosting sites that people may use in addition to some options for
people to migrate too.

I like the idea of trying to work inside our community to seek people
to help be sysadmins for AskFedora and to be developers.

I might be willing to take on some of the administrative tasks, but I
have no idea how to get started nor how much of a time commitment this
would be.

ask type communities can be an incredible resource for a community. I
was very active with AskUbuntu before converting to Fedora.

It is a small community when compared with AskUbuntu that has 249,575
answers. I personally found it difficult to get started with AskFedora
and have not revisited the site. I think if we make a commitment to
paying for someone to host the site that we need to make an effort to
make it easier for more users to contribute to the site.
