newbie's questions

Hi,

I happened to see Project Ara and love the concept of the modules.

I wonder  what is the state of this project. Are there any modules available in production?

Please advise.

No one knows what is going on. Google has not said anything for the longest of times. Google has asked most model developers to keep quiet about their designs so we don't know much about that either.

Are there any module developers active in this forum?

What if I want to develop a module? there should be some common library/ APIs available for the developers to start?

Thanks.

I have downloaded this package.

Buy could any one answer my previous question? - Are there any modules available in production (i.e., in the markets)? Is the project ARA still in the design phase and none of the modules designs have been implemented in hardware?

This shift in development style is probably due to Paul Eremenko no longer working for Google, leading Project ARA.

We know this project has not been abandoned, and work is still going on behind closed doors; because 'Google Opinion Rewards' app is asking for opinions about Project Ara !
