[Webcom] osgeo.org project summaries (homepage)

[Ian Edwards]

The vote on whether to change the project summaries on osgeo.org to make
them point at the consistent and up to date OSGeo Live summaries stands at
+2 / -0.

I'm therefore going to go ahead and make the changes.  We can then take
feedback on whether any additional improvements are needed.
