Documentation can be found at [docs.rs](https://docs.rs/lightning/)
Currently somewhere near 50% towards usable, published to see if there is any
real interest from folks in using a lightning rust library.
The project implements all of the BOLT specifications in the 1.0 spec except
for [channel queries](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lightning-rfc/blob/master/07-routing-gossip.md#query-messages). The
implementation has pretty good test coverage that is expected to continue to
improve. There are a number of internal refactorings being done now that will
make the code base more welcoming to new contributors. It is also anticipated
that as developers begin using the API, the lessons from that will result in
changes to the API, so any developer using LDK at this stage should be prepared
to embrace that. The current state is sufficient for a developer or project to
experiment with it. Recent increased contribution rate to the project is expected
to lead to a high quality, stable, production-worthy implementation in 2020.
The goal is to provide a full-featured but also incredibly flexible lightning
implementation, allowing the user to decide how they wish to use it. With that
