How do Projects fit into this?

I allways liked the idea to provide an out-of-the box working 
project in addition to the fileIn. Projects allow new users to
play with the enhancement/addon very easily. 
It would be even good for non-morphic stuff (e.g. a library of some sort)
to provide a project as interactive documentation: The project should 
contain lots of simple (and not so simple) example that show how to use the 
library.
