Users who have the role Project manager do the following things:

Create Project - do this via http://www.openvpms.org/node/add/development-project or, in the top menu, Content management|Create content|Development project. The initial content of the 'Project description' field contains instructions.

Edit Project - you will need to edit the project immediately after it is created in order to correctly set the contents of the mailto link in the 'Project funding' text. You will need to set the URL of the project (so copy it first before you start editing) and the project name.

Update Project - you will need to edit again to change the status and funding percentage.

Track Funding - the job of tracking the funding for the project is the person who receives the pledge emails sent to funding[at]openvpms[dot]org - they track the total pledged plus donated and update the status and funding percentage as appropriate - and also inform the developers when the funding reaches 100%.
