[OSM-dev] help.osm.org - platform migration research

[Paweł Paprota]

Hi again,

I think I have finished the research[1] before today's EWG meeting.

I have focused on Shapado since it looks most promising and has a great
i18n support. Migration effort would be large but in exchange we would
get a truly international Q&A platform.
