Christopher, if you go through and set up the multi-site config with  
Apache and Tomcat according to the alkacon-documentation, the whole  
concept of 'sites' begins to make more sense.  I agree that OpenCMS  
could do with a simple document that said "This is what a project is  
for, this is what a site is for" (much like one of the mails in this  
thread... :) as I was also confused at first.

I find it a little frustrating sometimes when I'm working on /sites/ 
cofa, and have to either switch to /sites/default to view the alkacon- 
documentation, or open up a different browser that isn't logged into  
the OpenCMS workplace to view it, but I can kind of see why it is  
like this.
