Post request in dev/talk/etc mailing list, on Telegram channels, on US Slack channels etc? Banner on the main page is probably an overkill, but going through all channels and posting there once should be OK. And on blog, Twitter (if there is an account there) etc? Not sure about chance that someone will volunteer but maybe it will work? Even if chances are 1% of finding someone wiling and able to help maybe it would be worth doing? (I am active in some of them and will post/link if anyone will prepare such call for help) > TomH suggests migrating to StackExchange and says it's a process he's > familiar with.

OSM community would no longer control QA site (via OSMF) , it would be controlled by StackExchange company. That is a relatively OK company, but things were going in clearly bad direction recently, though there are signs that maybe collapse was stopped. And it seems there would be nothing to migrate as help.openstreetmap is CC BY-SA 2.0 licensed and from what I see new content on StackExchange sites is CC BY-SA 4.0. Is it possible for OSMF to relicense answers and questions text?
