Project team round

Here we discuss topics that need broader attention, for example questions that came up but are outside a single project's scope, larger planned changes/PRs that affect all teams or pending work that is blocked by external factors.

1. Models / NESTML
   • deeper refactoring ongoing, GPU coding
   • some code changes touch spike_diluter which could probably be deprecated and replaced with bernulli_synapse (#2375)
     • created 3.4 release notes document, to collect important updates in already
   • disabled direct recording from noise generator (#2377)
2. NEST GPU

In-depth discussion

Multiple events for a single spike in hh_cond_exp_traub when increasing time resolution #329

• only loosely coupled to original paper, much more related to Brette et al 2007, rename to hh_cond_brette_2007?
• quite some overlap with different parameters, documentation needs to be improved

Astrocytes in NEST

• Project overview and details presented by @HanjiaJiang
