     * reloading routing rules at runtime
-To achieve the above, following sub-sections collects the proposals for configuration file language.
+Ongoing implementation that enables writing routing blocks in Lua and Python as alternative to native language is documented at:
+  * [[devel:config-engines|Configuration File Engines]]
-==== Exporting Functions To Embedded Interpreters ====
-  * define and implement an export interface from modules to embedded interpreters to automatically add new functions to embedded interpreters, in a similar fashion as for adding functions to configuration file
+===== Source Tree Structure =====
-==== Routing Logic In Embedded Interpreters Scripting ====
+Goals:
-  * writing the routing logic only in a scripting language supported via embedded interpreters
+  * group files per components to be easier to spot their role, especially the core, include files and utilities
-  * eventually setting core parameters, loading modules and setting modules' parameters are still done using the kamailio configuration file but all routing blocks should be possible to be written in an embedded language
-  * routing logic in an embedded language should allow reloading at runtime without kamailio restart
-===== Source Tree Structure =====
+==== Reorganizing Source Files Location ====
 It was discussed in the past:
   * source code files should be relocated to have a better structure for include headers, core files, modules and internal libraries as well as utilities
+Two models proposed:
+  * a) only move core files in a new 'core' folder in the root directory
+  * b) move all source code files for Kamailio in a new 'src' folder, with further re-organization with subfolders inside 'src'
 ===== Build System =====
