 ====== Open tasks ======
 There is a number of technical tasks that are ideal for scientists who would like to contribute to
 open-source particle simulations and outreach.  Help from undergraduate and graduate students are especially welcome.
-Your work will be fully acknowleged
+HepSim projects can  expand your programming  skills,  you will learn about HEP physics processes, Monte Carlo generators, detector designs and
- Such tasks are especially useful
+data analysis. HepSim uses the same general software and tools as for the ongoing and future experiments. The only difference
+is that HepSim packages are not proprietorial, which means you do not need
+to worry about permissions from HEP experiments/collaborations to publish your own research.
- expand your skills for help learning about physics,
+Here are several open tasks:
-detector designs and Monte Carlo simulations and can expand your skills in programming . Here is the list:
+  * Improve the converter "promc2lcio". This Java code converts truth-level Monte Carlo events to the LCIO format for the full simulation. The promc2lcio code is included inside the [[https://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/promc/|ProMC package]]. Look at the directory "examples/promc2lcio". This code works for Pythia6, Herwig6, Madgraph5, but it fails on promc files created from Pythia8.
+  * The FCC-hh detector has about 300 overlaps in the inner/outer tracker (support structures are shifted, overlaps with the beam pipe). The task is to correct compact.xml file into  GDML file,  and check for overlaps using the existing tools included into ROOT.
+  * Detector and events should be viewed using a Web event browser based on WebGL or other methods. Please look at the [[http://ispy-webgl.web.cern.ch/ispy-webgl/| ispy-webgl for the CMS detector]].
+  * Improvements for the graphics of [[https://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/jas4pp/|Jas4pp]] used to visualize the events. Currently, HCAL cell sizes are shown as small dots which do not reflect the actual size of calorimeter cells.
+  * Improvements in HepRApp code. Currently, this Java-based viewer it is not actively supported (and the source code is not available). But the tool gives a sample method to view events
-  * Improve the converter "promc2lcio". This Java code converts truth-level Monte Carlo events to the LCIO format which is acceptable for the full simulation. This code is included inside the [[https://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/promc/|ProMC package]]. Look at the directory "examples/promc2lcio". This code works for Pythia6, Herwig6, Madgraph5, but it fails on promc files created from Pythia8. Take any ProMC file from HepSim create by Pythia8 and see the error.
+Of course, you can do a lot of your own research, including physics performance studies using truth-level, fast simulations and full simulations.
-  * The FCC-hh detector has about 300 overlaps of the inner tracker (support structures are shifted, overlaps with the beam pipe). The task is to correct compact.xml file and check for overlaps.
+You are only limited by your own imagination.
-  * Each detector should be viewed using online event browser using WebGL or other methods. Please look at the CMS detector example in [[http://ispy-webgl.web.cern.ch/ispy-webgl/| ispy-webgl]].
-  * Improvements for the graphics of Jas4pp [[https://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/jas4pp/|Jas4pp]] used to visualize the events. Currently, HCAL cell sizes are shown as small dots which do not reflect the actual size of calorimeter cells.
