TODO

Automatic testing

• Need discussions and who-does-what

ResetNetwork / dumping & loading

• If we have users participating: discuss and find out exactly what needs to be saved and if it is possible
• Discuss new idea from Open VC 17. august
• Should result at least in a document detailing our current understanding

Create sub-folders in nestkernel directory

• The directory is very messy, it would be nice to clean it up by organizing the different files into different folders
• Create separate folders for connecting, recording backend etc.
