Description

I noticed that, if you install a brand-new Phorge/Phabricator, the /project/ path says this:

Welcome to Projects
Projects are flexible storage containers used as tags, teams, projects, or anything you need to group.

I think "storage container" is a bit counter-intuitive since we know that Tags do not "contain" stuff. A Tag is not like a directory, so that you change visibility permissions on that directory and everything tagged is also affected. Maybe a Space can be described as "storage container" but not a Tag.

Any rephrase tip?

Proposal 1

Welcome to Projects
Projects are hashtags with steroids. Also called Project Tags. You can use them as tags, teams projects, or anything you need to group.

Proposal 2

I'd like to keep this boring:
Projects are hashtags are tags. You can use them for code bases, teams, or anything you need to group.

+lots for removing the words "storage containers" - projects are very much not "storage".
A better metaphor is "labels" or "index" (like in a printed book? Is that something young people know about?).

In fact, maybe the word "Project" should just be slowly removed from the UI in all places...
