Tutorial01 defines a project as "a collection of configuration and apps
for a particular Web site" which specifically refers to the Python package
generated by "{{{django-admin startproject <project name>}}}".
In tutorial02, while modifying the look and feel of the admin page, the
guide asks the user to create a "templates" directory within the project
and add "{{{TEMPLATE_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')]}}}" to
the settings.py which is also within the project. However, the
"{{{BASE_DIR}}}" value resolves to the directory containing the django
project Python package rather than the Python package itself as the
default value is "{{{os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))}}}".
The documentation should clarify in tutorial02 whether project refers to
the django project or the containing directory.
