Hey Daniel.

A good place to start is here https://www.procollabs.com/tutorials/starting_a_project - it describes the differences. But in a nutshell, its about the different levels of visibility and access a project has.

A 'public' project can be seen by non-members (anyone who is not logged in can see it listed in the active projects, and listen to it if there is a featured track).

A 'member' project can't be seen by non members, but the rest of us will see it and be able to comment etc.

In a private project, only you and your collaborators will be able to see the action (i.e. tracks, comments, etc) - but the rest of the community will know that a private project exists if we visit your profile, where it will be listed (useful if you just want to show that you are working on something) . The only difference between the secret project and the private project is the fact that a secret project is completely hidden to members.

If you checkout my profile, you'll be able to see an example of what this looks like.

Hope that makes sense.
