Quickly is a open source command-line tool for creating software programs and publishing the code ( for others to use ) quickly
Quickly is a product of Ubuntu sponsored by Canonical Ltd.
Quickly gets life from Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) http://www.canonical.com/news/ubuntu-910
Rick Spencer, the leader of the Ubuntu Desktop team at Canonical Ltd came up with the idea of ‘ Quickly ‘
Rick Spencer worked on his idea, gathering help from the community (include an incredible community member called Didier Roche), and thus Quickly was born
Quickly helps you create software programs (and other things) quickly. You can select from a set of application templates and use some simple quickly commands to create, edit code and GUI, and publish your software for others to use. Quickly’s templates are easy to write. So if you are a fan of language foo, you can create a foo-project template. Or if you want to help people making plugins for your killer app, you can make a killer-app-plugin template. You can even create a template for managing corporate documents, creating your awesome LaTeX helpers. The sky is the limit!
Quickly on the whole makes use of various open source technologies such as
Python for the language
PyGTK for the user interface
Glade for UI design
Gedit for editing the code
Desktop Couch for data storage (optional)
Bazaar for version control system
Launchpad for code hosting
