The APRS Foundation is hoping to eventually gain control of aprs.org, aprs.net and any associated websites. Nothing is set in stone, as of right now. We're doing our best right now at the Foundation of organizing and preparing to (hopefully) take on all of these web assets that Bob left behind. There is a LOT of work to do, if we do gain control. We'll be looking for people to help us organize, reformat, sift through the information and put it back up on the web in a meaningful, useful format that everyone can use.
The Foundation is not ready to start accepting memberships just yet, but we're talking about a full/associate membership model that would allow people to get involved and also help support the Foundation. More to come very soon!

I actually signed up here some months ago because of the message on
aprs.org that says "For now, aprs.org is under the control of Steve, K4HG.
Discussion of what to do with it is on the TAPR aprs sig. Please join and participate."
I guess I came to the list too late to see any discussion.
I would say findu.com, aprs.net, and aprs.org could all be folded into one site,
or at least the aprs.* could be. findu is more of a personal project.
The bike geeks managed to keep SheldonBrown.com online and updates
happening. They have a blog. Even the original sponsor Harris Cyclery is
gone but sheldonbrown.com keeps going.
Seems like we should be able to do that for Bob and APRS? I barely know
what APRS is at this point so I don't talk much here.
