I'm not aware of one yet. Canonical employees are dogfooding quickly pretty hard right now. The real test of the opportunistic workflow based on quickly will be when there are a handful of external developers outside of the Canonical fenceline who pick up quickly and start trying to use it to maintain scratch your itch projects. If this workflow stays primarily dogfooded by in-house Canonical staffers then it won't have a critical mass adoption impact in the same way eclipse has had. -jef How many projects using quickly have been founded by someone not working for Canonical?

This CD should include a fully plugged-in editor, Ground Control, and all the relevant documentation to get developers up to speed fast. At least make a meta-package for it.
