1. Welcome
2. Review of NEST User Mailing List
   • taus_syn vs tau_syn as parameter name in multisynapse models. We decided to standardize to tau_syn (singular). Created #531 for follow-up.
   • Adam Haber requested possibility to inject noise with an intensity proportional to the in-degree of a node. This would require connection counting, which is expensive today. Created #532 for follow-up.
