  -MathMore
  -Minuit ?

 -DICT (Philippe/Stefan)
  Proposal for the workshop (CINT/Reflex/Python)
  ----------------------------------------------
  For the ROOT workshop I am thinking that we should have 3 main talks
  for the CINT/Reflex/Interpreter sections:

   One on the update to CINT (move to C++, Improvement from Masa),
   which could also cover improvement in the Meta package. (by me)

   One on the merge of CINT and Reflex, current status (by Stefan)

   One on plan and current status of Reflex/Cint merge (by me)>

   One on pyroot (by Wim)

 -I/O Trees (Philippe, Markus)
 ------------------------------
Actually I think that we should mention/target everything since
the last ROOT workshop (the audience can be slightly different).

So I think we should cover thing introduce after ROOT 4.00/08.
But we could be bried on the things done between ROOT 4.00/08
and CHEP.

I think we could have up to 4 different (combinable :) ) talks:

ROOT I/O:
   extend and optimize I/O of STL collections
   extend schema evolution (container to container)
   member wise streamering of STL collections
   better support for bool.
   extension to double32_t (range)
   TDirectory::GetDirectory (as opposed to cd)
   Introduce way to select I/O constructor
   TDirectory::TContext
   std(ext)::hash_xxx
   improved support for C-style array of objects.

TTree
   large trees
   circular buffer
   Indices improvements (including indices for TChain)
   BranchRef
   TTree::ReadFile
   new type-checking/type-deducting interface to vcreat branch
   nested list of friends.
   SetBranchAddress performance improve

TTreeSQL
   Current status and direction.

TTree analysing
   TTree::Scan extensions
   TTree::Draw extensions
        @ notation
        Sum$
        allow more case of branchname
   Browsing extension (axel)


 -GUI
  ---
Ilka Antcheva:
'The GUI status and recent developments in ROOT'
  - object editors;
  - style manager;

Valeri Fine:
"Integration of the Qt and a ROOT application"
Other expected Qt related talks:
 - N. Maliztky from RHIC;
 - Anselmo Meregaglia, CERN

Sent an e-mail to Valeriy O. - no replay up to now.
