Projects as described might be similar to Dolphin's IdeaSpace. For whatever reason, I never liked them very much, so I am not the best person to comment.
I share with Bill that I never use IdeaSpaces in Dolphin. However, IdeaSpaces are very different from Squeak projects as they just allow you to group browsers and workspaces with tabs which does (IMHO) not match Smalltalk work style for above reasons and I would not need a similar tool in Pharo.
To summarize, I would be perfectly happy with a streamlined projects implementation that just gives you different view to dive into without any need to save them outside the present image.
build a small prototype if you can and you can really influence us :) But we will not load project code in pharo that 100% sure :)

to do what? which one exactly?
The only thing I use projects for is to separate the different tasks I am working on at the same time (like spaces on the Mac), so I can have one world where I'm working on a client project, and a whole other world if I find a bug in the system that I want to fix - I want to move to another world, fix the bug, and move right back to my client world, with the windows exactly the way I left them.
For my use case, saving projects doesn't come into play. Why not remove the save functionality, since that seems to be the objection everyone raises, and keep them as a workspace organization tool - in image only?

I have my different "projects" in different images. That works perfectly.
For my workflow, this is too heavyweight. In my mind, that's like buying multiple separate computers to run different apps. Even though I am working on multiple tasks at once, they are not *that* different. For example, in my "fix a bug" task above, I want the fix to be in my working image (which is automatic in the projects solution), without having to load into all the other images I'm working on.
One of the killer features of Squeak/Pharo to me is that the whole system is available to itself. If I start breaking the image into smaller task-based images, it feels like going back to applications and files - yuck! ;-)
