Scope
Modular Hardware System (MHS) Subproject comprises of three Workstreams, DC-MHS, DC-SCM, and Edge-MHS. Each workstream independently operates under its own CLA and governance. Each workstream may have multiple sub-workstreams. Workstreams cooperate between each other to advance MHS as a whole.
