Reasoning behind World>>projects... and world>>Project menu items

I assume that there is a very good reason why the 'World Menu' and the
Button-3 world menu (don't know what else to call it) have different
"Project" submenu items.

The World menu has a selection called "projects..."

The world menu (3rd button) has a cascading submenu called "Project"

Both contain 'project' items (like previous, next project) but I don't
understand what the logic was by having both of these being similar but
not quite the same.

The 'World>>projects...' selection brings up another menu that has the
following items, that are all Squeak Project specific:

------------------
save on server
save to a different server
save project on local file only
see if server version is more recent...
load project from file...
show project hierarchy
create new mvc project
create new morphic project
go to previous project
go to next project
jump to project...
save for future revert
revert to saved copy.
------------------

The 'world>>Projects' cascades a submenu that has the following items,
and they are not all Squeak Project specific:

------------------
open...
windows...
previous project
jump to project...
next project
find any file
find a project
new project
make new drawing
object catalog
object from paste buffer
undo <...>
view objects hierarchy
publish project
------------------


As I mentioned, I'm sure that this was well thought out, but I don't
understand the reasoning. Can someone explain it to me?
For instance, why items such as "object catalog" in the
'world>>Projects' menu? And, why doesn't "publish project" show up in
'World>>projects...' menu?
