+QuickStarts
+===========
+
+QuickStarts provide the basic skeleton of an application.  Generally they reference a repository containing very simple source code that implements a trivial application using a particular framework.  In addition they define any components needed for the application including a Build configuration, supporting services such as Databases, etc.
+
+You can instantiate these templates as is, or fork the source repository they reference and supply your forked repository as the source-repository when instantiating them.
