I don't believe you can migrate to StackExchange - we would have to
start over if we went that route.
You definitely can't pay for a StackExhange site - they specifically
say that they no longer offer that.

Simon, et al, if money is required from the OSMF, could not one of the
working groups submit a funding request for migration to a new platform
like StackExchange? Microgrant is probably not appropriate for
something like this. Just my two cents' worth.

Can we involve any of the OSM organizations to find, maybe pay, someone?
The question is about the plan. Life support for this specific platform?
It sounds like an endless pit that can consume plenty of resources,
but maybe I am too pessimistic.
Migrate to Stack Exchange? Even assuming that this company will agree
it has plenty of potential issues.
Wait for someone to volunteer and fix? It would be nice, but not sure what
are chances of that.

They have a public process for proposing new sites:

So long as enough people are interested it shouldn't be an issue. I've
been through the process with another site.
