There are a handful of very active members who put in a lot of work and
effort; it isn't just a vacant lot full of weeds and bricks, which
would make the decision easy.
We never did get a "meta" site set up, so there's not really a great
place to have this discussion (which is why I'm having it here). I
guess I'll start a discussion there with the [meta] tag.
As a thought to add to this, it would be nice to have a place for people
interested in Ask Fedora to congregate and discuss. Before I was
involved now, I had joined #fedora-ask in 2014 because I had considered
looking into if I could help moderate or help the platform, but the
channel was mostly fedmsg notifications.
My point is, I think there may be people outside of the normal
contributor periphery who may want to assist with Ask, but there's no
effective means for people who wish to help to do so. This may not be
relevant for Infrastructure, but some helpful steps I could see to
bringing contributor focus into Ask is starting by providing a place and
means for people who want to help to do so.
One part of me says "there aren't enough contributors actively helping
here to justify having it as a resource", but another part sees the
great value in the fedmsg integration with Ask and how it does bring
people and contributors *into* the project community.
