Working group mailing list.

To improve the quality and robustness of GEANT4 code at mutliple levels. This includes

System integration testing,
Monitoring computing performance and benchmarking; at regular intervals a set of applications is used to check for CPU performance and for memory use. Results are documented.
Physics validation; at regular intervals a set of typical, but simplified HEP calorimeters are used to monitor calorimeter response observables for relevant primary particles over a wide range of energies.

Explicitely excluded is verification of physics performance for physics processes, this is the responsibility of the physics working groups.
