The NEMO system can be defined as a ''shared'', ''sustainable'', and ''state-of-the-art''  platform for research and operational oceanography.  This definition  provides three recurrent streams to which is added a fourth stream  related to a specific focus of the year.  The four stream of the work  plan can therefore be presented as follows:

'''stream 0- Year Specific action''' : a specific and priority action for the current year. In 2011 the focus will be

'''stream 1 - User Interface''' : ''shared'' = daily support to users, web & paper documentation, model user interface.

'''stream 2- Developer interface''' : ''sustainable''  = inscribed in a long term perspective: well thought internal model  architecture and interfaces, in order to facilitate the system  evolution.

'''stream 3- New features''' : ''state-of-the-art'' = development/implementation of improved physics and numerics coming from the NEMO community or from the NEMO team.

In addition to user's support and bugfixes, the 2012 actions plan is sum up  by stream and presented in more detail by institution :

== Ideas for the future: ==
As  result from the discussions during the Developer's Committee (October  2010 at NOCS), some "ideas for the future" have been listed . These are  not to be considered for 2011 workplan, but to be remembered for next  years.

 * Working group to elaborate developments for  atmospheric pressure
 * Working group on developments for diffusion especially for s-coordinates
 * Working group on wave model coupling interface via OASIS (UKMO, INGV...)
 * Interest for sub ice-shelf modeling (UKMO)
