Fill in the project parameters
- project name
  
  The name of the project.

  The directory, where to create the project directory structure. Inside the specified base directory, a directory with the project name will be created. This directory holds all the project relevant files and directories. I will refer to this newly created directory as PROJECT_DIR
- connector
  
  The database connector used to make Matlab talk to the database server. Currently there's only the JDBC option to select.
- db server
  
  The URL or ip address of the database server. If the server runs on the computer as you are working on, then localhost should be entered.
- username
  
  The user with which you'd like to create the project. All the database tables linked to the new project will be created inside the user's database (see The Seismon database user).
