[opencms-dev] "New" icon greyed out??

[King, Dennis]

As I understand it, projects are quite useful for _content_ developers.
You can create a new project, which is essentially another Offline
project, and work on a lot of files in a separate sandbox, independent
of other Offline project changes you might want to publish on a
different schedule. You can then publish your entire new project at
once, with the option to delete it at that time, rolling the content
into the offline project. Essentially you are branching and merging. 

What comes out of the box seems like it should be sufficient.

Stuart, with OpenCms you don't actually create projects. At least to my
understanding, projects merely serve the purpose of separating the
contents that have been released to the public (the "online" project)
from the ones that are still being edited (the "offline" project). What
you actually use to package content and/or functionality are modules. It
is possible to create more projects than the two default ones, but I
honestly don't know why.

The terminology employed by OpenCms here is certainly misleading, as it
differs from that of common IDEs.


Bye,
Robert
