Well, Lugnet serves as A hub, certainly - for a subset of the total online LEGO
audience. That's not to say there couldn't be a more comprehensive one created.
Right now all I've seen are fairly vague proposals... I think a lot of things
will firm up once (if) specifics are developed and shared with the communities
involved. I like the _idea_ of a hub and connected sites, but it all depends on
the implementation and level of community involvement.
