Glad to hear of this effort. There is a similar initiative underway in the Community department to create a portal for community-facing resources, and I wonder if the Discovery hub could be linked from there. I can think of some interesting use cases for search features that would be of interest to the community, such as surfacing tools that allow for easier searches of GLAM content. Pinging Maggie and Rosemary in case either of them want to comment.
