Hi Birgit *et al*, Thank you all very much for the hub. It's nice to get the tools in one place in a collaborative interface.
While adding tools into the hub, it would be great if there remains an option to add the contributors of the tool in addition to the primary developer. Also, is there any way to add info on existing tools?
