Bernt,
   I really appreciate your time.  Unfortunately, this doesnt quite get me 
what I am looking for.  My current method of defining projects and actions
 is :
- any thing that needs to be accomplished is a TODO
- a TODO can have TODOs as children, for as many levels as it takes to 
  organize the project and subprojects
- Next actions are defined with a NEXT key word and are tagged with the 
  appropriate context to have them show on my next actions list (i.e. errand,
  office, home)

I would like to have 2 views of the projects :
The first is a hierarchial view of all TODOs , which i do using the indented 
agenda list of TODOs.
The second is now using what you have published on your website using the skip
functions. Since I want to see all TODOs that have NEXT items as children, or, 
said another way 

 A project is any TODO that has NEXT as children

I modified your =bh/is-project-p= to look for NEXT like so
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(while (and (not has-subtask)
( (point) subtree-end)
-(re-search-forward ^\*+ TODO subtree-end t))
+(re-search-forward ^\*+ NEXT subtree-end t))
  (when (member (org-get-todo-state) org-todo-keywords-1)
#+END_SRC

Again, thank you for your help, and for putting your setup out on
the web for all of us to benefit from.

-Tim

 You should be able to achieve what you are looking for with a custom
 agenda skip function.  I have skip functions to show (or skip) projects
 in my setup and you should be able to adapt some of that for your needs.
 
 Thanks Bernt, I guess it /is/ that complicated.  I will take a look but I
 am not much of an elisp programmer yet

If all of your projects are normally at level 2 will this work?

C-c a m LEVEL=2/!TODO RET

If that works then you can define an agenda as

--8---cut here---start-8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
  (quote ((p Projects tags-todo LEVEL=2/!TODO
   ((org-agenda-overriding-header Projects)
(org-agenda-sorting-strategy
 '(category-keep)))
--8---cut here---end---8---

     My org files consist of three todo states : TODO NEXT | DONE
 Any TODO is a project, and it may have sub projects like so :

 * TODO Make dinner
 ** TODO Make homemade pizza
 *** NEXT roll out the crust
 *** NEXT add sauce
 *** NEXT add cheese
 ** TODO Make a side salad
 *** NEXT chop lettuce
 *** NEXT chop tomatos

 What I would like is to have my projects list agenda show :
 TODO Make homemade pizza
 TODO Make side salad

 Basically, my projects are any TODO that has no TODO children, but may have 
 NEXT children.

 How can i get the agenda view to only show them ?

 thanks

Hi Tim,

You should be able to achieve what you are looking for with a custom
agenda skip function.  I have skip functions to show (or skip) projects
in my setup and you should be able to adapt some of that for your needs.

See

http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#CustomAgendaViewSetup and 
http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#Projects

for examples of what I use.

Regards,
Bernt
