I don't want to admin 10 pages and have them all look like they are dead.
Alot of these "projects" are like 10-12 files that need to be done in an
afternoon and do NOT warrant a page onto their own (we just need a place
to simply put 2-3 lines noting the work and status that's all).  We need
a spot to put a blurb written up here and there and that's it.  If you are
still against it, then a vote is fine with me (but we also will have to
divide up the admin'ing of all these new multiple pages - which I will NOT
take on myself).  If there are projects that need to be broken into their
own project page due to their size/importance/interest then that's fine,
we'll have to deal with those on a per project basis - but I do see value
in lumping all the other smaller/tiny projects onto a single page.

Will look into it as well.
