 ## Documentation
-- Functional documentation
-- User stories
+- Improve our functional documentation
+- More and more user stories
 - More and more tutorials
-- A new website
+- A more logical plan for the website
 
 ## Demonstrator
-- Create web-based demos packaged as docker images to show the world what is PowSyBl
+We have started to create a web-based demonstrator packaged as [docker images](https://hub.docker.com/search?q=powsybl&type=image) to show the world what PowSyBl is. It will be available for everyone to experiment (the URL is coming soon !), with some great features:
+- Import networks (we are working on TSOs part of the European network)
+- Display networks on a map using CIM-CGMES Geographical Location (GL) profile
+- Display substations (single line diagram) using CIM-CGMES Diagram Layout (DL) profile
+- Apply simple modifications to the network topology (tap changes, setpoints changes, status of switches)
+- Run power flows and display the calculation results
+- Run security analyses and display violations on the network map and in a synthetic table
 
 ## Converters
 
 ### CIM-CGMES
 → Importer
-- End of basic importer
+- End of basic importer (operational limits and HVDC conversions improvement)
 - Diagram layout (DL) profile management
 - Geographical location (GL) profile management
 - Generation and Load Shift Keys (GLSK) and Contingency list, Remedial Actions and additional Constraints (CRAC) management
-- Merging
+- Merging through the merging view
 
 ← Exporter
-- Incremental export: Export back to a CIM-CGMES file, a network imported from a CIM-CGMES file
-- Full export: Export to a CIM-CGMES file, a network imported from any supported format
+- Incremental export: Export back to a CIM-CGMES file, a network imported from a CIM-CGMES file.
+- Full export: Export to a CIM-CGMES file, a network imported from any supported format.
 
 ### XIIDM
 → Importer
-- Extensions management in separate files
-- Partial import of datasets
-- C++ implementation
+- Version management (backward and forward compatibility).
+- The C++ implementation is almost finished and will be in open source in February 2020. Then, we have planned to work on version management.

 ### UCTE
 ← Exporter
-- almost done, validation in progress
+- Done !
 
 ### JSON
 → Importer
 - to be done
 
-## Grid Modeling
-- Backward compatibility management
-- Three windings transformers modeling improvement: validation in progress
+← Exporter
+- to be done
+
+## Grid modeling
+The backward compatibility management has been done last year. We have now a strong basis to change the core network model:
+- Three windings transformers modeling improvement: almost done.
 - HVDC modeling improvement
-- DC network modeling
-- Battery modeling: done !
-- Merging view when several networks are merged
-- A listener that records events occurring on the network
+- Operational limits modeling
+- Linear and non linear shunt compensators
+- Extenstions for automatic generation control and for monitoring
+- DC network modeling (maybe for 2021)
+- Merging view when several networks are merged.
+- A listener that records events occurring on the network has been implemented. We have planned to functionally validate it.
 
 ## Simulators
-- Integration of [Dynawo](https://dynawo.github.io/)
-- Improving our simple load-flow used for experimental purposes
+- Integration of [Dynawo](https://dynawo.github.io): work in progress.
+- Improving our open load flow used for tests, experimental and collaboration purposes. For more information, please read the [README file](https://github.com/powsybl/powsybl-open-loadflow/blob/master/README.md).
 
 ## Data management
-- Web services implementation in order to manage data stored in the Application File System (AFS)
+- A persistent implementation of the network core model (IIDM) based on [Apache Cassandra](http://cassandra.apache.org)
+- A persistent implementation of the triple store
+- A Persistent implementation of the extensions
+- A permissions and quotas management in the AFS
+- A log collector in the AFS
 
 ## Viewing
 - Voltage level view: display clean, pretty and interactive drawings of voltage levels
 - Substation view: display clean, pretty and interactive drawings of substations
 - Improvement of the graphical charter of electro-technical components
+- A geographical web view of the network
+
+## Grid Study Environment
+- A nice view of dependencies between objects
+- Provide the new features of AFS in the Grid Study Environment
 
 ## High level services
 - Package and distribute computation services based on spring, as docker images
+
+## Functional tests
+We plan to validate a CIM-CGMES based workflow, focusing on the functional validation, the computation time and the memory consumption. The CIM-CGMES workflow consists in importing networks (also called Individual Grid Model), running a power flow, merging the networks (topologically at least), running a power flow on the merged network (also called Common Grid Model), applying modifications and exporting the updated network(s).
