The latest readTheDocs Documentation on how to build the doxygen documentation does not work as described, no html folder is actually generated if one follows the documentation, since https://github.com/ComputationalRadiationPhysics/picongpu/blob/f272ec49dca42afa16580d81dfedd772b74cc845/docs/Doxyfile#L9 sets...

Errors in Doxygen Documentation of Atomic Data

Has both grammatical errors and documentation assignment errors, @psychocoderHPC could you assign me to this issue, will fix it as part of the refactor, for now just a reminder to...

The [cell2Particle](https://github.com/ComputationalRadiationPhysics/picongpu/blob/59e9b53605f9a5c1bf271eeb055bc74370a99052/include/picongpu/particles/access/Cell2Particle.tpp#L40) operator defined is missing a in source documentation, also has no out of source documentation I am aware of. That makes using it difficult. @psychocoderHPC could you add...

[Discussion]Switch boundElectrons particle attribute from float_X to uint32_t

Macro particles in PIC are phase space samples following physical trajectories. As such fractional ion charges are not useful, since physical ions always have integer charges and therefore follow integer...

histogram output does not regard shape functions

currently picongpu the histogram output plugin does not use macro particle shape functions according to offline statements by @psychocoderHPC

partial particle tracking and field output

It would be useful to be able to only output a certain portion of all tracked particles. As in we determine in a param file a percentage to write of...

An out-of-code documentation of the basic data structure used by picongpu should be included in the developer documentation.

We are missing both in-code documentation and out-of-code documentation on how we actually assign weights to particles on initialisation and which model we are using to define the weight of...

The naming distinction of CellDescription and mappingDesc in is not consistent, both describe practically the same thing but their name suggest a difference.
