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
