= What is a project? =

A BOINC project consists of the following components:

 * A [DataBase MySQL database]
 * A [ServerDirs directory structure]
 * A [ProjectConfigFile configuration file], which specifies [ProjectOptions options],
   [ProjectDaemons daemons], and [ProjectTasks periodic tasks].

Multiple BOINC projects can exist on the same host.
This can be handy for creating separate projects for testing and debugging.

The easiest way to create a project is with the [MakeProject make_project] script,
which creates all the above components.
