EPIC Inclusive Physics Task List
Software development
Tasks listed in this section require making contributions to shared software repositories. These repositories are not owned by the Inclusive Physics WG, and the official task lists are maintained in the relevant GitHub repositories. The specific tasks listed below (e.g., "Implement calorimeter clusterization") simply define tasks that are critical to Inclusive Physics. If a task listed below is not currently listed as an open issue in the relevant repository, feel free to open it as an issue. It is likely that some items listed below will be completed by people outside of the Inclusive Physics WG, either due to overlapping interests or required detector/software expertise.
