Re: Tutorial on RDP i Projects ?

No, the original design was for offline work.  The idea was that 
developers who spent significant time disconnected, say on planes and 
such, could download complete working environments where they could 
write code and and basically bench-check it and then later upload it to 
the server for actual compilation and testing.

Phil Coulthard was the driving force behind projects and that was his 
vision.  It never really took off, and as we become ever more connected 
(WiFi in every hotel room, and even in the air!) the need for a 
disconnected development environment dwindles.

The use of projects as an interface to SCM is actually a serendipitous 
side effect.
