Request: put "Project" directory under existing Anaconda directory

[ijstokes]

It is possible that this is a Navigator issue for @chdoig to consider, however since it is most immediately part of Anaconda Project I thought it best to start with reporting it here

I have used Anaconda Project through Navigator and from the CLI. I now have a directory ~/AnacondaProjects -- along side directories ~/anaconda, ~/Anaconda3 (see #751), ~/AnacondaFusion, ~/.anaconda, ~/.conda, ~/.continuum -- it seems to me that this is unnecessary. I would suggest that a directory Projects (or IMO, even better would be projects) should be created at one of:

$ANACONDA_ROOT_DIR/Projects
~/anaconda/Projects

@ijstokes I understand and share the sentiment but I disagree with the proposed solution

the anaconda folder is a mess... and contains a lot of folders that are not friendly to users..

Applications
Examples
bin
conda-bld
conda-meta
doc
envs
etc
fonts
include
lib
libexec
locks
mkspecs
phrasebooks
pkgs
plugins
python.app
qml
resources
sbin
selenium
share
ssl
translations
var

anaconda-project itself doesn't know about this directory (you always have to pass a project dir in to anaconda-project), so this is implemented only in Navigator.
