-Project aim: +====== MC variation I ======
-- comprehensive list of all possible variations available in each generator+
  
-- as comprehensive as possible list of correlations among these variations+** Project aim: **
  
-- for each MC:  +The idea of the project was an introduction into what parameter variations are possible in General-Purpose MCs, and to help build intuition on which of these variations can affect which measurements. 
-exact meaning ​of variation X and where it gives an impact + 
-what are the constraints that should not be broken +Minutes of the discussion on site have been posted on the slack channel. It was also suggested that the discussion can continue between MC developers at the upcoming MCnet meeting. 
-wherever this is possible, suggested ranges of variations + 
-disclaimers and "good practice"​+To get to an introduction,​ we thought to first give  
 + 
 +  * as comprehensive as possible list of all possible variations available in each generator 
 + 
 +  * list of correlations among these variations (as comprehensive as possible) 
 + 
 +  * for each MC:  
 +  ​- ​exact interpretation ​of name "variation X", ​and which phenomena ​it influences 
 +  ​- ​what are the constraints ​when varying parameters ​that should not be broken 
 +  ​- ​wherever this is possible, suggested ranges of variations 
 +  ​- ​disclaimers and "good practice"​ 
 + 
 +It would be ideal if through these lists, we can come to a somewhat common naming convention. This would significantly help in the communication between MC developers and experiments. Currently, the terms "MC uncertainties"​ or "PS uncertainties"​ are used in an unclear way, and this project would help towards removing some of this language barrier.  
 + 
 +Given a list of variations and their discussion, it would also be extremely valuable to have a 
 + 
 +  * list of examples (exact meaning of "​example"​ to be defined) that highlight the impact of a (category of) MC variations that are relevant in each case, possibly with plots.
