[SR-Users] Roadmap to Kamailio v5.0

Hello, following the last IRC devel meeting, I am writing the summary of the main points being discussed there and what's planned to get to Kamailio v5.0. 1) Freezing should be done either before Chrismas holidays or at beginning of January 2017 to aim meeting the deadline for next Debian stable distro 2) Restructuring the source tree To be done in the weeks before freezing, so eventual fixes won't have hard time to be backported to 4.4. This means it will be done in December. Open issues: a) anyone aware of a tool that can update include directives upon relocation of the file? b) who is interested to join an eventual online session to perform the restructuring? C coding is not a must here, but more knowledge of sed/awk/perl/python/... and Makefiles ... 3) Defining a template for generating main file of a module The scope is to have a descriptive file for the module where one lists exported symbols (config params, functions, kemi functions, rpc/mi commands, etc.) which along with a template will generate the c code. The effective implementation of the functions/commands will be done separately, in a different file (e.g, the main file that is generated can have references to parameter variables with extern ... and will also generate the .h which will have only the prototypes for the functions). The main goal here is to get a way of easily generated an index of exported symbols that can be used to discover missing documentation. Right now we sort of do 'gentlemen agreement' on documenting functions and parameters, but many rpc commands are not documented (they are extracted with some tool scanning compiled objects). Also, same concept as with c code can be used to generate some stubs for documentation that can be included in docbook xml files. Few proposals of templating engines were mentioned, coming in my mind now being jinja2 and mustache. Anyone else with more suggestions? Or even propose alternatives of what can be used to solve this relation between code and docs?
