The plan!

• Get NEST3 as ready to go as possible

  • freeze features

  • install instructions, esp. for Mac (@plesser)
  • NEST input-side PR (@jougs)
    • documentation changes (@jougs, @sarakonradi)
    • hashmaps for IO (not NEST3, needs discussion, @gtrensch)
  • Vector neurons, via NESTML and also changes in multimeter (needs discussion)
  • tidy up make target names (@jougs)
  • NEST Server docs (@jougs)
  • PyNEST examples (@terhorstd)
  • instrumentation vs. connectivity generation
