In-depth discussion

Mixed bag of discussion points on the e-prop implementation

(by @Jesús & @akorgor)

  • discussed possibilities available via NESTML
  • custom-model properties discussed and possible implementations of recording devices
  • best practices for implementation of model variations
    • split to different model classes makes implementation cleaner
    • have to make sure users are reasonably safe against accidentally miss-configuring models
    • poisson generator connectivity scaling behaviour discussed

Node & Model functions refactoring

(@med-ayssar)

  • Node classis bloated by many virtual has_… methods, not respecting proper structures
  • will create sparate meeting for in-depth discussion of this
