+
+The elements are:
+
+ '''name'''::
+        Project name
+ '''master_url'''::
+        Master URL
+ '''local_revision'''
+        The SVN changeset number of the project's server software.
+ '''web_stopped'''
+        Nonzero if the project's database is down, so data-driven web pages turned off.
+ '''account_creation_disabled'''::
+        If present, this project is not allowing creation of new accounts
+ '''min_passwd_length'''::
+        Minimum password length (for new account creation)
+ '''account_manager'''::
+        If present, this is an account manager, not a BOINC project
+ '''uses_username'''::
+        If present, this project uses names (rather than email addresses)     as the primary account identifier
+ '''client_account_creation_disabled'''::
+        If present, new accounts can be created only via the web (not via the client software).
+ '''rpc_prefix'''::
+        Prefix to use for web RPCs, instead of the master URL.
+ '''error_num'''::
+        The project is currently down. A BOINC error number is returned.
+ '''platforms'''::
+        A list of platforms for which the project has application versions.
+ '''system_requirements'''::
+        Hardware requirements for participating in this project. If a computer doesn't meet these requirements it may not get sent any work by the project. All requirements are 'net'; e.g. the CPU requirements     are after factors like [ClientSched on-fraction, active-fraction],     and resource share have been taken into consideration. NOT IMPLEMENTED YET.
