Quickly 13.04 Enhancements
Rationale:
Quickly is the recommended quick start development tool. It's important to keep it up to date and useful.
Goal:
Specifically this cycle, a big focus will be porting to Python 3 for both managed projects and Quickly itself.

Whiteboard
seb128, 2012-08-14: dropping from the quantal desktop tracking, most items are behind (and we need to get back on trend) and that's not a strategic goal, that doesn't stop people to work on their assigned remaining items though ;-)
User Stories:
Adam doesn't know much about Ubuntu development but has an idea for a neat calculator app.
Brenda and her friends want to develop a small tool together and offer it on the latest LTS release.
Test Plans:
1) Any new features should add a new script to the test suite.
2) A sample project should be created, run, and packaged.
To port to Python3:
* We need python-launchpadlib to be ported
After discussing it with didrocks, I've filed a new blueprint specifically for R at https:/
