There are several blog posts and stackoverflow answers about this topic:
"Project" vs "App".
I would like to see an official statements about these terms.
I checked the current docs and could not find a definition. I hope I was
not blind :-)
What is an "app" and what is a "project"?
Here is what I tell new team mates:
Project: A project is a container for app. It contains only settings, no
database models. Since it contains no database models it does not contain
database schema migrations. It can contain migrations which fill a
database with project specific data. A project might contain a
sitecustomize.py
App: An app has models, views and code. It should be re-usable. An app can
depend on an other apps. It must not depend on a project. An app can
contain a settings.py for testing, but it has no settings on its own. It
should have instructions which settings are needed to get the app running
in a project. A app must not contain a sitecustomize.py.
