BikeE Upgrades

I just bought a used (obviously) 1999 BikeE AT. I like it a lot, but I am looking to do some upgrades. I'd like to:

1. Replace the Sachs derailleur with a maybe a Deore XT
2. Replace the the 7-speed hub with at least an 8-speed
3. Upgrading to an 8-speed hub would also require replacing the grip shifters; I was thinking some sort of rapid fire shifters.
4. Replacing the fork to accomodate a 20" front tire.

Has anyone done these or other upgrades to a BikeE or can you point me to site that describes how to undertake them.

Thanks!
