Website-based equivalent of existing Major Projects #235

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It is not a problem, but I think it would be great feature to have. Currently, there are descriptions of selected projects on the new website (which is great), but: (1) it is hard to find them (even if i understand the logic of their placement), and (2) someone who wants to know what RENCI is working on, does not have a snap-shot type of picture. I feel it would be useful to have.

Describe the solution you'd like Perhaps additional page that would not only pull from existing project descriptions, but also allowed researchers to include additional projects (sometimes smaller etc). I'd suggest to design a structure for such page. When it is ready, we could also have a link at the bottom of each project existing page to that "summary" page.

The same applies to the RENCI internal projects: i'd like to have a space to highlight all great projects that we are working on: Dashboard improvements, wellness, DivE In, Internship program, Proposal development and more.

Describe alternatives you've considered In the interim, we could find a good home for the updated and a little bit more hip version of the Major Projects.

Additional context I see the list of all projects (or almost all) in the News section - the problem is that most of them are linked to "0 news". Perhaps modification of the existing mechanism, to link to short descriptions would be worth considering? With the filter being "info" or "news".
