What happens will happen here and even an initial transition might not be forever. Maybe the first steps are temporary.
I prefer the site in some form to transition to another non-profit or NGO. (in whole or part) Maybe like techsoup.org or some other place with reputation, resources, support and experience with Community Group management. Without real management, it stands a chance if impolding further.
My fear is that if its run in cold somewhere or under any single domain of personal control of a user, it will languish.
With confidence, many places would host the site. But keeping it until reaching a new home within the focus of original goals is why it lasted this long. Trying to change that vastly now would be another distraction.
Now, as a start maybe the focus on features or where it all will go should be set aside and just the board appointments be the front burner.
I also think that people deciding to migrate or not migrate their content is serious distraction, as the current site is already consistent with a very good user agreement. Sure they can hide it, but its not even on the plate yet.
If there isn't any focus, the content no matter where it ends up won't be any better off than not existing at all.
Cheers
