[ot] file menu ordering

hi,

sorry to bother y'all again...

i wonder how to correctly layout the file menu, when there's more than one type of "document".

to be precise: we have one "project" which holds "documents".
sort of like a journal with entries. one can

create
open
save
close projects

as well as

create
open selected
save
close
delete documents.

i've seen all sorts of implementations, ranging from one "file" menu that holds all (project builder) to two menus ("file" and "site" for example) to getting rid of a "file" menu alltogether and naming the menu according to the name of the "document" (macjournal for example: "entry", "journal").

which is the right way to go?

have a file menu with the document-related stuff and one "project" menu to the left of the window menu? wouldn't that be against the general structure of the menu (system -> app -> doc -> content)?

thanx for any insight, maybe even a pointer to the relevant portion in the ui-guidelines <giggle>. ;)
