[Webcom] Link OSGeo projects to OSGeoLive Project Overviews

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Cameron,

I am not sure why we are using summary pages for projects (as you
mentioned, they will just become out-of-date); easy answer is to point
directly to the project pages. (this is what users/readers on osgeo.org
want anyway)
