Bug Description
Hello,
on last trunk addons revisions, with demo data and project module. Try to open a new project. With the buttons, there is no way to reach the 'draft' state.
Still, in some custom module we like the 'draft' state as being the first state of a project (instead of open), for us, draft explicits that the project is still in planning phase, so for instance you can't order it or something like that.
So in our custom module, we use _default in project.project to set the default state to 'draft'.
But then there is no button to pass the project to the 'open' state. I believe this is a bug.
Here is attached a patch that fixed the draft to open transition. To be able to reach the draft state, I let you find a solution. I suggest you set draft as the initial default state instead of 'open'.

Hello, let me insist that currently the project.project object has a "draft" state, but it's useless with the current buttons and current initial state since OpenERP create projects in "open" state by default. I think that just like other ERP entities such as orders, invoices or moves, projects are first created in "draft" mode instead and become "open" only after some confirmation.
Can we have this before too many people start creating projects in 'open' mode with the OpenERP RC's. I think the patch with the initial state in 'draft' is pretty straightforward, would that make a big difference to get the fix if I pass you an other patch?
