Dear all

attached is a revised version of the work package list - thanks
to those who have sent comments!

While we of course can modify this, it helps organizing the flow 
of the proposal text if we converge sooner than later to a 
quasi-final version. Please, take some minutes and check if some 
important part is missing. 

thanks
Jochen
