"Project" is a confusing term

Bug Description

People are often confused by the presence of Projects and Products in Launchpad and create projects for software projects (see, confusing!) that are actually a single product.

The UI should be changed to consistently feature "Project Groups" instead of "Projects" .

Matthew, are you fixing this bug for 1.0? You mentioned something about the correct terms now are: Project groups and projects.

This is still a problem, though for different reasons: not all of the occurrences of "project" in the UI were changed to "project group", and not all of the occurrences of "product" were changed to "project".
