[OSGeo-Discuss] Proposal for the listing of projects in our new web site

Actually on this one I think they should just be listed twice, each page
has different information to communicate so if an organization is acting in
multiple roles they would be best served by having two pages.
- Someone looking for a service provider wants to focus on what projects an
organization is ready to help with.
- A visitor looking for a geoforall lab wants to focus on research and
academic accomplishments.

The text in the each can provide the cross link, or we can have a generic
page cross reference as is done for the partner and friend pages.
