help.openstreetmap.org

help.openstreetmap.org is one of the contact channels of the OpenStreetMap community. You can post OpenStreetMap-related questions and/or help answer them. The idea of it is to find the best-suited answer to a question that is likely of interest to many people. Read the help site FAQ page to get started.

Technical background

The software is OSQA ^GitHub.

The running software instance is (apparently) available in an OSM git repo (see Why does this site require third party resources?).

The OSQA software is unmaintained. See https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations/issues/149 "Migrate help.openstreetmap.org from OSQA" - a pinned issue at openstreetmap/operations.

If no replacement/migration is found/made this could lead to removing the site without a replacement. What was seriously considered in the past, and may happen on its own if unmaintained website will break down for some reason.
