Hadronic physics category/working group
a) Release dedicated elastic scattering models for proton and neutron elastic scattering off hydrogen, based on R. Arndt's database.
b) Release the intra-nuclear cascade and evaporation parts of the HETC re-write.
c) Design iteration and re-implementation of longitudinal string-decay.
d) Release chiral invariant phase-space-decay implementation.

User Interfaces working group for 2001
1) exploration and test of G4cin
( [In 2001 only] .. an exploration/test period to study all the impact that it will have, in particular with
all visualization drivers and with the mixing of things that will come from analysis tools.)
2) plans of members
Naruto:
a) GAG's plug-in version for JAS
With this, user can control the execution of Geant4, while taking histograms
b) improved version of Geant4 editors
editors with menus to insert texts on Geant4 classes and their methods (agreed in Paris?)
Visualization category:
* Completion of the visualization commands
* Create special training kits for visualization with demonstrations and/or exercises
* Improvement of automatic visualization
* The first release of the XML ==> DAWN file converter
Note that the above does not include milestones of GUI and analysis category.

Analysis plans for "20001"
- have AIDA interfaces for tuple and cloud of points.
- have implementations of tuple and cloud for the three analysis system : JAS, Lizard, OpensScientist compliant with AIDA interfaces.
- have Geant4/analysis completed to take into account these implementations.
- have an /analysis/processes/plot command equivalent to the Geant3/drmat command.
- have all that installed at CERN for Linux and NT for the December release.
