More than 100 people participated in a discussion session at the DIS08 workshop on the topic What HERA may provide. A summary of the discussion with a structured outlook and list of desirable measurements and theory calculations is given.
Data on low x physics from H1 & ZEUS are presented and their interpretation discussed. The focus is on the increasing hardness of the energy dependence of inclusive virtual-photon proton scattering and certain diffractive processes as the transverse size of the probe decreases.
Recent measurements of unpolarised and polarised nucleon structure functions and F_2(gamma) are reviewed. The implications for QCD and the gluon momentum distribution are discussed. The status of the understanding of the total virtual-photon proton total cross-section in the transition region between real photoproduction and deep-inelastic scattering is summarised briefly.
