  1. Structure an ecosystem of members into topical communities. Each community will then be independently operating and managing their own projects. Projects can be members of multiple communities.
  2. Discuss with hub members via threads
  3. Share and manage relevant documents for the hub
  4. Build a collective library of scientific papers
  5. Support the projects and communities it is linked with by automatically sharing the needs of its projects and communities and making resources available to the projects and communities
  6. Share hub needs to help support the hub’s work directly
