Ok im going to make this bug as a list of things that are wrong/not done yet for the Quickly Vala template.
* The pot generation overwrites the old pot and should be merged instead [fixed I think]
* The pot picks up on all strings in the vala file and should omit directories and object name references because if they are translated they would break the project
* Packaging isnt done at all yet
* ppa stuff isnt done yet but I presume this is easy once the packaging is done
* The template is very short and there isnt any database stuff (like desktop couch in the ubuntu-application template)
* I should investigate using desktop couch in Vala but id say the binding isnt made yet but should be fairly easy if there are C bindings which I think are made.
* Id love to get this plugin working http://code.google.com/p/vtg/ with the project but it doesnt build and doesnt have a maintainer for debian or ubuntu
* Dependency generation isnt automatic like python so the user has to specify --pkg and the binding name to specify it so it can build properly.
So thats the list of problems so far feel free to try it out and make some comments if you find any more bugs.

Ok so Quickly create and Quickly run are working now in my branch. Oh I forgot to say how to test it. You grab the branch and just put it in a folder called quickly-templates in your home directory and then you can run quickly create Quickly-vala <project name> and then it will work.
