So "Merov Linden" is "we" the open source developers? Not a Linden? The wiki page has a Note! and a Warning! that basically say don't believe anything you read there. Concerning "projects" all it says is > linden/projects/* Later on, Linden Lab wanted to have a more serious project > that was more of a shared effort that they were conducting with an external > vendor in the public repository, so they created the projects area.
