Standardize data formats that can be read in and out across software packages
Develop a hub website for the DMI community to: host links to the webpages and instruction of codes, provide news of critical updates; track the location of physical test-standards; host test data sets for community use; and advertise upcoming workshops, sessions at conferences, and relevant employment opportunities for students and post-doctoral researchers
Provide educational materials including online lectures describing the theoretical background of the techniques and written tutorials for both experimental and data processing best practices
Improve community networking and communication through publication of a newsletter to provide updates regarding publications and software packages
Build the community by establishing and coordinating workshops, (sessions at) conferences, and a support network for young researchers
Introduce a yearly science thrust that will be supported by a workshop designed to bring together experts and new users to chart paths forward for developing techniques covered by the science thrust
Host session(s) at each yearly workshop aimed at addressing diversity issues within the community
Familiarize the DMI community with the IUCr family of journals and recommend publishing their work in one of the IUCr journals as appropriate
