That sounds like a neat idea.  Let me see if I can put that in the GNOME wiki.

Something that has been proven to be helpful at KDE is a tool [1] to generate
an initial application skeleton, e.g. build system files, usual "main"
function, example class.

It has a kind of instant satisfaction effect for beginners as they can build
and run the skeleton right away and start experiementing with whatever their
actual idea for the app is.

It is also quite nice for experienced developers when they are writing
tutorials because they don't have to describe the project initialization step
in detail and reference files that need to be modified by name instead of
generic terms like "the main class' header file".
See [2] for such a tutorial.

Cheers,
Kevin
