Hello,
It's time for a new version of Quickstart, and I'm wondering how to improve it.
What are you using Quickstart for?
- What's helping?
- What could be improved?
If you're not using Quickstart, why? Where did it fall short?
Some ideas I had are:
- Hudson and Selenium integration. I just did this for a client and could integrate it into the image. Would this be useful?
- Improving the quickstart drush commands. Is anyone using this?
- Some screen casts on using the project? Short howto videos for this and that?
Is there anything you'd like to contribute to Quickstart, but don't know how?
Cheers,
Mike

Add an Open Atrium drush command?
I really like Quickstart for drupal. It made setting up a development environment very easy - especially for someone like me who's new to the whole virtual server thing. The ability to automagically set up the sql, etc. is priceless.
I think the idea of videos or screencasts for how-tos is great.
One of the things I used quickstart for was to create an Open Atrium development site. It required a bit of a workaround - If there would be any way to add a drush command that would download & install the latest version of OA instead of drupal 6/7, I think that would be VERY helpful. For reference, my workaround for installing OA is here: https://community.openatrium.com/documentation-en/node/2099
This is what I use to add Hudson to Quickstart
Hello. Love the work you've done with quickstart.
I wanted to share what I use to add hudson.
The code will:
After the code is run, a restart of hudson will create hudson files in the quickstart directory. Code goes in an sh script and the script can be added in the install-quickstart.sh file as: bash -x ~/quickstart/quickstart-add-hudson.sh
!/bin/bash
cd ~
wget -O /tmp/key http://hudson-ci.org/debian/hudson-ci.org.key
sudo apt-key add /tmp/key
wget -O /tmp/hudson.deb http://hudson-ci.org/latest/debian/hudson.deb
sudo dpkg --install /tmp/hudson.deb
sudo apt-get install -f #this just fixes any dependencies, usually just daemon
mkdir /home/quickstart/hudson
zenity --info --text="Around line 15 change the user to: HUDSON_USER=quickstart and around line 40 change the port to HTTP_PORT=8081"
sudo gedit /etc/default/hudson
Hope this may be useful to someone else.
I also posted this in the project issue que here: http://drupal.org/node/870406
join forces with Turnkey Linux?
I wonder if it would make sense to combine efforts with the Turnkey Linux project. They're even running a TurnKey Appliance Development Contest that might be worth checking out.
NetBeans plugins support for Drupal
How about adding NetBeans plugins support for Drupal? It's a simple wizard for creating Drupal modules and themes that includes code snippets.
