PROJ category from the org-mode front page?

PROJ category from the org-mode front page?

Hi everyone,

I've just been looking at this picture from the org-mode home page:
http://orgmode.org/img/tasks.png 
I like the line :
* PROJ Organize the interstellar dust meeting 

Is "PROJ" a custom TODO 'type' keyword?  I have to say I quite like
it... but would it be possible to have combine types with more complex
(non-DONE) states, so that e.g. the heading displays:
* PROJ INPROGRESS Organize the interstellar dust meeting
or
* PROJ DONE Organize the interstellar dust meeting
?  
Just wondering.  Thanks,
Matt

PROJ is just a normal keyword like TODO DONE etc.  You would have to
make it all one word like

PROJTODO, PROJINPROGRESS, etc

which to me feels like duplicating your standard non-project keywords.
I used to do that.  I don't like duplication.

You might be better off designating projects with a tag instead -- or
just consider everything to be a project (that's what I do) so there is
no special PROJ keyword.

No.  Org-mode supports only one TODO keyword.

What I am doing is

#+TODO: PROJ | PRDONE PRCANCELED
