Quickly is a framework for creating software programs for a Linux distribution using Python, PyGTK, Glade Interface Designer and Desktop Couch. It then allows for easy publishing using bzr and Launchpad.

About

Quickly is designed to speed up the start of new projects with the use of templates, not only for programs but for any type of project. This templates are used to automate project configuration and maintenance. Delegating into templates and not in a specific library allow projects maked using Quickly don't depended on any library or runtime of Quickly itself.

The software was made by Rick Spencer after his frustration when starting Ubuntu development.
