Detailed Description
This feature aims to provide GUI frontend for devassistant package which currently only works on commandline.
Developer Assistant GUI is separated into three parts: Main GUI page contains matrix of languages and their subassistans (if are available). User see tooltips like what each language does. Next page contains information needed for project creation like project name, directory where project will be stored and several options (optional) which can be processed during the project creation.
Options are provided by devassistant engine.
The last page is log window where user see what action is currently processing and what actions were done. The project creation process can be stop by user request.
After project creation user can look on github page (if was selected) and see what was uploaded into GitHub server.
Benefit to Fedora
Make development on Fedora easier for beginners who are afraid of/don't want to work with terminal.
