Very disappointed that the EA hub is not at least retaining the information for future use or otherwise making any effort to convey the information. Collectively, EAs, including myself, have spent a lot of time submitting the information. EAs spend their valuable time contributing to these projects with trust that the information will be stewarded and used. Now it seems that no effort is being taken to see that there is even the possibility of future use of this information. I don’t know what the cost of the information retention would be, but I would be very surprised if it was lower than either the value of the possibility of its future gainful use and/or the harm from the loss of trust caused from the fact the products of community members’ time was discarded so cavalierly.
The lack of care for the information gathered will likely cause people to slightly update against spending their time to collaborate in networking projects.

Sebastian addressed this in a comment below. I’ll also add that the Hub is a volunteer-run project, and we have limited time / resources.
