Description

I attempted to create a project with the name "www.mywebsite.com" but it refuses to allow that project name.

Dots are not allowed. Maybe they should be...

The instructions on the project creator needs to either say it
or the limits should
be removed. I personally don't see any reason to restrict it
from common
characters, like periods, as they are often used to name projects,
e.g. my
example of using a website domain name as the project name.

well, the validator is in app/models/project.rb:

validates_format_of :name, :with => /^[\w\s\'\-]*$/i

I can't see any reason why this restriction is there - maybe
for regexp purposes?

Remove the limitations on name field, just keep them on project
identifier

Fixed in r949.
Project name can now contain any character.
